Yabut...be careful about using this way of thinking about the play. Are you 100% sure it was the official's fault for getting in the way? Are you 100% sure the player didn't aim it at the official? If the official was standing OOB instead of the front court, would you also use the same criteria?
Now, I did find case play 4.4.4(b) that addresses this very play. And it refers to 9-9-2.
