Then HC A maybe has to take a TO to avoid the violation...could be some kinda wacky ending. Guess that's better than having the game possibly decided by a T here.
B throws it? I'm letting the clock run and letting A retrieve the ball unless it's impossible for me to do so. Count doesn't start till it's at A's disposal.
