b. Failing when in possession, to immediately pass the ball to the nearer official when a whistle sounds.
c. The free thrower fails to be in the free-throw semicircle when the official is ready to administer the free throw unless the resumption-of-play procedure is in effect following a time-out or intermission.
d. Repeated violations of the throw-in, as in 9-2-10.
At this critical point in the game, it seems apparent what the defender was trying to do. His team should not benefit from that.

Yes, it would seem that "Into the hallway" counts as "Preventing the ball from being put into play".
