The original situation falls under my "Big Deal" theory. Is that player's toe on the line 19'9" from the basket during a FT a big deal? If it is, then put a whistle on it. If not, you let it go and mention it when you get a chance.
It's exactly like the carry in the backcourt with no defensive pressure. Is that a big deal? If you feel it is, then call it. If not, you let it go and mention to the coach that his point guard is awfully close to a turnover. My personal opinion is that neither situation is a big deal.
Now if he carries the ball as he makes his move to the basket, that's a big deal. Whislte. Putting a toe OOB, that's a big deal.
It's a little different from advantage/disadvantage, but it works for me.
