The case play was put in to deal with certain plays where a team could gain an unfair advantage not intended by the delay rules. Iow, the FED closed the loophole.

Since I don't have the rule book, would you please cite the relevant case plays?
Without knowing them, I'd say T in case (A) and ignore the act in case (B). Tossing the ball toward the bleachers would be a T even at the first minute of the game, IMO. Breaking the plane 5 meters (sorry, 15 feet
) away from the throw-in is just irrelevant: would you issue a warning during normal play? You probably wouldn't even see it.
On the other hand, I prefer the FIBA and NCAA rule: when the time is almost over, stop the clock after a basket.
