I'm guessing that the rationale for (b) is that the throw-in team has 5 seconds to accomplish the throw-in
correctly. So if they miffed it, they could try again. Is that right, Bob?
Only clue they'd have that they'd miffed it would be that you're still counting. But of course they expect you to be counting the 10-sec backcourt count, so they probably wouldn't know. I can see why NFHS opted otherwise.
I call this differently depending on level: for HS games, it's a violation (per rule and case book play); for little kids I make 'em do it right (teaching moment).
