Mark,
Like I said I have a friend that had this happen in a game, so I have thought about it for a while. He and I concluded that a part (d) is necessary.
The play is not as simple as you make it seem.
For example, what if the five players on Team B are so stunned and confused by the ball going through the basket that none of them go over and get the ball. The astute official sees the ball is available to them and starts a five second count. He then reaches five and calls the violation. Now who will be the first to secure the ball of the jump?
So do you still think that 4-3-1 covers it?

Yup.
In a situation like this, I'm stopping play (b/c I can guarantee that the table is going to be leaning on the horn), explaining the situation to both coaches and the table, and then putting the ball in play.

Even if you call the 5 second violation on B, R6-3-1 will now cover the play when you give the ball to A OOB for the violation- i.e. "
Control may also be established by the results of a violation or foul, as in 4-3".
The play's covered in the existing rules. No need to make up new ones.
