As a ref, would you use "preventitve officiating" and blow it dead before a violation, get the ball back, and re-toss it to the shooter?

If he gets the ball back legally, there's no "preventative officiating" to be done. You can't blow it dead because all the action so far has been legal.
If someone else violates, it depends on what happened. If the shooter made a borderline fake shot that caused another player to violate, the burden is on the shooter.
If the shooter recovers the ball and another player subsequently wanders out of the lane, that's on the other player.
FWIW, I've never seen any of this happen, so it's all a little TWP for my taste.
