Think about what could be done by A1, the only player left on the team, in a throw-in situation.

Dodgeball is always an option - throwing the ball in so that it touches any player on B and then A1 can legally touch the ball again.

If clock is running, A1 only has to release the ball before 5 seconds is up and then wait for someone on B to touch the ball first. Team B would want to do this in this situation because the clock is still running - so dodgeball becomes a real factor.

If clock is not running, A1 could release the ball, tossing the ball down court and following the ball as it bounces down court. As the ball nears the opposite endline, A1 could touch the ball on court, causing the violation. Would that not be a spot violation at that point? Team B would have to travel the entire court to score now, taking more time off the clock.
