RULING: B5's intentional violation should be ignored and A1's activity should continue without interruption.COMMENT: Non-contact, away from the ball illegal defensive violations(i.e. excessively swinging the elbows, leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason) specifically designed to stop the clock near the end of a period or to take away a clear advantageous position by the offense shall be temporarily ignored. The defensive team should not benefit from the tactic. If time is not a factor, the defense should be penalized with the violation or a technical foul for unsporting behavior.
Note the words "temporarily ignored". If it happened in the middle of a period, you delay the whistle for the violation until after A1 has scored, then whistle B5 for the violation and give team A the ball back for a throw-in.

Hm... Comment says, "temporarily ignored", but the word "temporarily" doesn't appear in the ruling.
So if offense went down and shot just after the defender stepped out to try to stop the play, but offense missed the shot, but rebounded, would you keep delaying the violation penalty? Wait until B rebounds or steals and then call it?
