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.
Not the first time. Just a 5 second violation. The 2nd 5 second violation warrants the T here. I think it's safe to say that a 2nd violation would take some serious unsportsmanlike defiance.
Under the RPP, if A was to receive the ball, and B wasn't ready, A gets the ball, makes their play, and assuming they eventually score, the ref is to leave the ball bouncing, count to 5 and then call a T. I know I'm right, 100%, but I can't give a reference since my books are about 5 miles away, put away where they belong (it's me that's out of place at the moment.) I'll find the reference this weekend -- if I remember.
