We had a very good coach in our area use this situation to his advantage several years ago. His team A was down 5 in the waning seconds, scored and was fouled on the shot. On the free throw, B accidently stepped in early while A was focusing on the shot. Team A coach had his players call time. Since he had the arrow, he told the free thrower to air ball the shot, which created a double violation (I don't officiate anymore so I'm not sure this is still the case, but it was then-is it now?)--Possession to A under their own hoop, with a chance to tie. Team A got off a 3-ball attempt at the horn, but missed. None the less, it was a great attempt by a coach to use the rules to his advantage. Which is why I wouldn't recommend passing on the violation.
