At first I thought maybe it had to do with slapping the ball away after a made bucket but I don't think it does now.....
. If anyone can please elaborate on this ruling.
Thanks.

In addition to not giving the official the ball when a violaiton/foul has been called, it can involve slapping the ball away after the basket if it not just delays it but makes it unavailable. It's largely a matter of degree. If the player (after a made basket) bats the ball into the stands....T. If they merely grab it and hang onto it for a second or bump it away from the other team a few feeet....delay warning (or team T if the 2nd delay).
