#2. Just under a minute, the team that is behind scores to bring it within 4. Player on that team grabs bal and makes a chest pass throwing the ball all the way to the corner of the court where there are no players. Ref immediately whistles and issues delay of game warning. Right call? Or just let clock keep running while ball is fetched? Or is it so blatant that it should be an immediate T? The stop and warning was clearly beneficial to the team “warned.”

I say T. If you're intentionally throwing it away from everyone else, that's clearly unsportsmanlike, not to mention trying to use the delay rule to your unfair advantage.
