T and put 3 seconds on the clock. The T is not for delay of game but for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Cam -
Well, technically speaking, you are to be corrected....
Per 9.2.11 - COMMENT: In situations with the clock running and five or less seconds left in the game, a throw-in plane violation or interfering with the ball following a goal should be ignored if its only purpose is to stop the clock. However, if the tactic in any way interferes with the thrower's efforts to make a throw-in, a technical foul for delay shall be called even though no previous warning had been issued. In this situation, if the official stopped the clock and issued a team warning, it would allow the team to benefit from the tactic.

While your citation is indeed correct, this situation also falls under 10-3-6a as was just mentioned by tonyp and FrankHtown. That was I was basing my ruling on but didn't take the time to locate the rule.\
So, there are two rules which can cover this situation. Both have exactly the same outcome so it doesn't really matter which one you choose.

Not exactly.
If the game goes to OT, by using the delay T the team now has a warning in the book as well, that may come into play in the OT.
