No T or warning if you let the clock keep running and start your 5-second count. The throw-in team (B) is entitled to that much time anyway, and if they slapped the ball away there is a greater chance of a throw-in violation and Team A getting the ball back quickly. Team B would have screwed THEMSELVES, and Team A would be the beneficiary.
