I'm on the side of saying something about it as we go into the timeout.

As I report the timeout, I'm going to indicate to the scorer and coaches that the FT violation that was pending will remain in effect for the FT once we resume.


Now, from a philosophical point of view, I'm not so sure I like the way the rule plays out. I'd be inclined to think that a better rule would result in the negation of the delayed violation if A want to call that timeout. The violation hasn't given the defender any advantage if there is no shot....which is the purpose of the rule to start with.
