You could see a violation on the team behind and call that, such as stepping out of bounds, or a uniform violation. If the team behind even so much as brushed the ball, you could call a Delay of Game warning on them, and that would stop the clock.

If I'm not 100% sure they are "wasting time" my thoughts would be to let it pass to - not to look for something disquised as a violation.
I got 9 seconds left in a tight game, ball under basket for after a score and I call a uniform violation ..... e- gad's Batman.
I suggest a lazer beam focus on getting the ball to the throw in position. If I can get it (the ball) reasonably still near the baseline - I can start a visable count and thats powerful. Players will respond as you know.
Admire the creative thinking and game management - but in the frenzy of a big finish finding "water on the floor" would be a tough sell.

Perhaps the old insurance scam slip and fall would sell the whistle?
