There's no provision in FIBA rules to stop the game in order to issue a warning, if the ball is live and the clock is running. You can stop the clock if a player of the scoring team interferes with the ball before an opponent can get it and issue a warning for delay of game, but here the ball is dead. You can stop a throw-in when a defender breaks the wall.

Moreover there's no "going OOB violation": it's either a T or a warning at the next dead ball. Unfortunately, as I've already said, this case disappeared from the rule book, I believe before 2004.
