The first situation said that the ball was thrown straight up, but since 5 seconds did not expire, there can be no violation here. The restated question on 7 seconds left when ball is OOB and ball released at 4 seconds (the one that you and I responded to) said the ball was thrown in such a way that it would land on the court. This case is no violation because ball is releasd toward court.
So neither situation as stated above results in a violation.
A final question would be, when shot is made with 7 seconds left, how quickly do you expect the ball to be ready for play? It would be easy to take up the 2 seconds getting the ball and getting OOB to throw it in, and then hold the ball for 5 seconds. How do you personally handle this situation?
