Personally, I'm not ignoring anything (2-10-5 backs me up just as much as 2-10-4 backs up BNR), because I think 2-10-4 is meant solely for the situations mentioned. But as has been said before, the rules aren't written to cover every possible scenario; sometimes you just have to officiate.
Which is why sometimes it does matter who the R is.

The reason I go with the 2-10-4 logic is b/c it discusses activity during the incorrect act. If we recognize the error in time to correct it then basically we've had no play. So I'm not penalizing either team for any basketball activity that falls below the line of unsporting, flagrant, or intentional.
