Yes -- we've had very spirited debates over this question in the past. Some said, "wait 5 seconds, then have a violation." Some said, "immediate violation." Some said, "Do over." (For the record, I was one of those in the latter camp.)
FED finally answered it for us a copule of years ago -- in the case play posted above.
NCAA hasn't answered it yet.
All the above answers are supportable, none are definite in NCAA. I think there are too many problems with the first one (wait 5 seconds) -- too much can happen. I would support either of the second two.

Good points Bob...(and me thinks you are in good company with the "do-overs")
another point might be, what would an official do if a player picked up the ball at any dead ball period during the game and "heaved" it to a teammate? (Of course, after a basket the clock is still running.) Maybe the "do-over" camp is thinking along those lines....or like a delay of game warning?
