If the other team was to throw the ball in, the official will place the ball on the floor and have a 5-second count.
After the 5-second violation occurs, the above scenario is in effect.

But, it is true that in a kids game, the refs may be a lot more lenient on this.
I beileve you are incorrect about a "T" if the team does not inbound the ball w/in the 5 sec. It would be the same if the team was trying to throw in the ball and team B was palying good defense and 5 sec expired. It would be a violation and team "B" would get the ball.

There is no reason to give a "T" if the ball is not inbounded with in the 5 sec allowed.
There is a very good reason, and that is that the rule book requires it when the Resumption of Play Procedure is in effect. There is no judgment required. There is no option.
