I agree with Bob. (I've been doing that a lot recently...)
It's not a correctable error situation, so those rules and time limits wouldn't apply.
What if a coach calls you a cheatin' SOB, and, for whatever reason, you decide to think about it for a play or two. Then, after play goes up and down the court, you decide the comment was false and it really was unsportsmanlike. Do you issue the T then?
The play, and the time to make the call is past, so we move on.
