I would not feel right about penalizing a team on a breakout by stopping play with a whackinazation.
I just didn't know if it would be mechanically correct to have a delayed call in this instance.
Yes, there is even an NFHS case book play that has this exact scenario and the case book play says to wait to whack so as to not take away a scoring play (can't remember the case).

In my early years, I whacked Coach B just before A1 laid up a successful shot. Sheez. Fortunately, Coach B had coached at School A a year or two before then, and the entire coaching and table staff of School A thanked me later, even though I had taken away 2 points. They really didn't like him, I guess!
