Nobody did anything. The shooter didn't show any attitude or disrespect as he sent the ball back to the ref. I was wondering what could have been called if one of the reffs called the violation right when the punch happened? (obviously the violation for punching the ball) What would be the proper way to continue the game at that point?

Was the ball live when he punched it?
If a player punches the ball after a timeout is granted, is that a violation?
Edit: I see that Bob got there before me.
