How do you know when this puts B at a disadvantage? I understand where you're coming from in doing this, but where is this in the rules? If it unintentionally rolls away, it's B's responisiblity to hustle and go get it. I have to say the ball would really have to get away from a team for me to stop play on this.

I don't know if it is in the rules. However, we've all seen times when the ball caroms off someone and rolls to the bleachers, half court, etc. This is a common sense call. If we started the count when the made ball hit the floor and the ball bounced away, they may not be able to even retrieve it in 5 seconds, let alone inbound it.

Rule 5-8-2(c) gives you the authority to stop the play, and Case book play 4.42.3 tells you how to proceed with the throw-in.
