Defense is allowed to play too.
I think in the game of basketball we spend way too much time trying to find reasons not to call things on the offense (3 seconds, carry, FT violations). The defense should be rewarded for playing good defense. Make the call if the ball is in the air. Especially if you were at nine when the player finally throws the ball. Remember the ball is already dead by the time you actually blow your whistle. This probably is not going to happen that much anyway.
Peace
