As Bob said, Roman Law applies. Here, we're taught to be a bit more strict about it. Like Rich, I also set the ball on the floor once all last season (after my partner already did once), as most teams here are pretty good about getting back on the court in time.
If I see a true effort to get to the throw-in, I'll hold it. If they're making their way out slowly, a simple whistle, "blue ball," and direction pointing tend to speed things up.
