In a running clock league like this, I'd roll the clock once this particular timeout ends...even if it didn't normally start. The clock would run during the T FTs...eating up the clock anyway....that's assuming I don't just declare it a travesty and go home.
At the same time, I'd be quite particular about not letting subs in that were "not ready".
Neither of these forms of gamesmanship should not be part of youth sports.

And just because it's not standard doesn't mean it's unethical.
That said, I agree. The clock would start "on the ready." In the end, it would cost the kids playing time rather than save it (due to the free throws).
