There is a case book or interpretation that has been made on this play. It was a few years ago that it was made. It is out there, I'll leave it to someone else (you) to dig a little deeper to find it.
Before the ruling, there was the same disagreement as you're experiencing...count to 5 or violation right away or blow the whistle and instruct them that it is a throwin.
The ruling...as soon as they turn up court without making a proper throwin, it is a throwin violation. Do not wait for 5 seconds to elapse.
