Just remember - if this happens with 5 seconds or less on the clock, it needs to be either ignored, or it gets an automatic T (without previous warning).

Mark, that was my thought too, but I can't find the rule that covers that situation. Got a citation?

9.2.11 SITUATION:
Comment: In situations with the clock running and five or less seconds left in the game, a throw-in plane violation or interfering with the ball following a goal should be ignored if its only purpose is to stop the clock. However, if the tactic in any way interferes with the thrower's efforts to make a throw-in, a technical foul for delay shall be called even though no previous warning had been issued. In this situation, if the official stopped the clock and issued a team warning, it would allow the team to benefit from the tactic.
