Because I'm new, I work mostly with freshman and below players. In that situation, I always point to the OOB area and say something like "Remember now, take it out first". It sort of helps these little gals along without getting into a sticky situation as the above. However, for the few high school JV games I officiate, I would be interested in the correct call here.

doghead,
I always used to call 5 sec., even if they were already down the court. I am now going with the result of Tony's correspondence with Richard Knox (below, as posted above)

We've beat this one to death on several different boards. I emailed Richard Knox, the Chairman of the NF Basketball Rues Committee. He replied that a delay of game warning should be called or a technical called if a warning has already been issued.

It's not a violation and you can't start your five second count. A delay of game is about all that's left.
