Huh?
Do you resume a 5-second count after the time-out? How are the 2 situations related?

How about this. Team A up 3 points, gains BC possession with 15 seconds remaining. Team B knocks ball OOB in BC with 7 seconds left in game, and 2 seconds left on 10-second count. Team A then takes an excessive time-out.
You don't think that would benefit Team A?
