New violation: unintended advantage?

Calling the violation on the defense stops the play and awards a throw-in to the team with the ball, thus disrupting the offense. If a shot clock were being used, then, I guess, it may be proper to give the offense a re-set.

Assuming, of course, that the state association says this situation should be a shot-clock reset.

I could see a problem where states don't work this into their shot clock rules, an assignor tells his/her refs to call this on the defense, and team A is now awarded a throw-in with 1 second left on the shot clock. (Or worse - one second left in the game.)
