Unusual Strategy Involving the 10 Second Count

Championship girls game (rec. ball) this morning. Team A is really strong, outscoring everybody all season long. Team B coach is tired of his team being humiliated. He feels that Team A runs the score up on everybody. He comes up with a strategy before the game. This league uses a running clock except for fouls. If he feels that the score is being run up, after a made basket by Team A he wants his girl to inbound the ball, let it roll to a stop in the back court before his player touches it. As I understand it, by rule the 10 second count doesn't start until his player touches it inbounds. Team A can not press in the back court until last two minutes of the game (league rule). He wants to let the ball stay there while the clock runs.

How would you guys have handled this? I will tell you later what my partner and I did.
