No, no, a thousand times no. 9.01c is not a license for you to make up rules.
The purpose of 9.01c is to allow the umpire to make a ruling in order to permit the game to move along when it gets stuck. Pitch in flight hits a bird. What's your call? Ball? Strike? No pitch? Do runners get to advance? That's the spot for 9.01c.
Just because the rules are silent on a matter does not mean that there's an omission calling for you to apply 9.01c.
