A JV boys game. Early in the game team A was given a delay of game warning for reaching over endline and contacting the ball in the throwers hand. Late in the game after a timeout team A was given first horn warning and then second horn lets go. With team A still in huddle the official whacks team A with a T for delay of game. I thought the correct way to handle this was to make the ball available for the throw in and start counting or let team B go with it. Please advise how you would handle this.
First off - Contacting the ball as described is a Technical foul not a delay. Simply breaking the plane by the defender is a delay of game.
Secondly - I would do as you stated and set the ball on the floor and start my count.
Just my 2 cents
