I should've said this earlier. In deciding whether or not the offensive team is attacking the basket, you can use the same criteria as you would for deciding whether to stop play for an injured defensive player. You don't stop the play if the offense is attacking, but as soon as they pull back, or stop going to the basket, you kill it. Same thing with the situation we're discussing.

If they're not in the act of shooting, driving to the basket, or about to dump it inside for their buy guy, kill it and get the clock set correctly.
