What if prior to this play you heard the head coach of Team A instruct his players to do this or if he yelled to bat the ball away? Does that change how you would call it?

You would think during an association meeting, someone would be able to open their case book and pull up the case play.
Case play says you are to hold the whistle unless the delay tactic actually interferes with an attempt to inbound the ball. In that case, you go straight to the T.
My books are at home, so I can't quote the case play number, but I'm sure someone will be along to help.
