What do you do?
1) Decide the play is over and call dead ball
2) Wait a moment to see if runners move or F5 throws
3) Wait indefinitely until a play happens

My answer to that is the same as my answer to this:

I do nothing. I'm in position to make my call. Someone will figure it out. Even if this means a minute has gone by. SOMEONE will figure it out. It's not my job to remind one side or the other.
