I don't see how you could do it this way. As always one side isn't going to like your call. If you're going to T him, do it. Don't wait for them to get the lay up then appease the other side by letting them shoot.
T him up. Let the other side shoot. I'll bet he doesn't get into that situation again. If it comes down to his team losing because of his mistake I don't think you have changed the outcome of the game.

Dudly,
The only reason I would wait is based on this: If you have an injury in the backcourt while a fast break is transitioning, do you blow the play dead immediately or do you wait for the fast break to end? Most officials I know do the latter. If you're going to pin him anyways, then what can it hurt to not wait a half second. Let me also say this though, a lot of that would depend on how close the offensive player is to the bucket; f/e, if he's only at mid-court, I'm pinning the coach.

I'd agree if it was the OTHER team going for the lay up, we should hold our whistle to not penalize the team with the ball, by calling the T on the other team, in this case WHACK, no basket.
