I apologize for joining this thread so late, BUT has I have said in a thread earlier this past Fall (and we all know the one), this is NOT a delay of game warning no matter what Dick Knox says. And I refuse to impose an incorrect rules interpretation no matter who makes the interpretation. The ball is at the disposable of Team B, start the five second throw-in count.
Quoting:
BktBallRef: When the ball is on the floor and B is making no effort to pick it up and inbound it, I begin my count.
When the ball is in the hands of a member of the throwing team and he doesn't step OOB, I begin my count.
When the ball is at the disposal and the throwing team bats the ball, I begin my count.
