... A T is overkill for this. Some action is necessary otherwise we'll be there for weeks.

10-1-5b. Delay the game by preventing the ball from being made promptly live or from being put in play.
This article goes on to mention the RPP, but that doesn't mean it applies only to the RPP. It clearly shows that it's a T to prevent the ball from becoming live.

Exactly. There is rules backing for the issuance of a "T". There is no rules backing for the issuance of a warning. Gotta use what we got, not what we wished we had.

But what about when you got an officials manual telling you to blow the whistle to signal play is sabout to resume following a timeout, and it is going to resume by freethrows?

How is that really relevant to this situation? You're talking about a mechanic versus a rule. Apples/oranges. If they ignore your whistle following the TO, that's when you start applying the appropriate rule.
