Would this be a situation where you would hit the whistle and administer the baseline throw-in? If Team A didn't mean to hit it (bounced off a head, for instance), the game was close and time was running off...could you stop the clock for an official's time out and then administer? I know that if the net gets stuck on the rim...we sound our whistle, fix the problem and then administer. I don't know that there's a rule reference here...but would it be good game management? (Since the team was down 25...not a huge deal here, of course.)
