Yes, but a delayed violation carries over when a time out is called and, after a TO, a shooter has an uninterrupted chance to make a FT....
And while there is not a "penalty for table people screwing up" there *are* penalties for players screwing up. For example, A1 is dribbling the ball when horn accidentally goes off. A1 stops her dribble when she hears the horn. The officials never recognize the horn and the ball remains live. When A1 begins dribbling again, realizing that play is not being stopped, she has committed an illegal dribble.
