There is nothing unsporting whatsoever about this situation and the only option is a violation. The violation, being on the defense, can be delayed if calling it would disadvantage A (per the NFHS interpretation on the matter) but in no case would it be a T.
Going so far as to blame the officials for being in a hurry is utter BS. 5+5 on the floor and no one heading to/from the bench/table area is all the officials could be expected to observe. Someone heading off the floor after the ball is in play is beyond their control...unless, after every whistle, we're to ask the coaches if they have the right players in the game.
