It would have to be painfully obvious to everyone, including the blind guy with his dog up in the top row, that the player lost track of the time and was just trying to pass it to his teammate.

Maybe I will make the appointment with the optometrist as the coach suggested last night...

I agree that it would be a rare call and I can only think of calling it if they had used that same play 3 or 4 times in the half.

But lets look at another scenario without the clock.

Same play team A not in bonus, A1 is fouled while throwing up lob,
1) A2 grabs ball in air and dunks
2) A2 hears whistle and stops and watches as ball misses rim by two feet.

Are you going to award 2 shots for foul in act of shooting?
