One player left

Obviously a single player can't last long in this situation, but if they're up by 15 points with 20 seconds to go, they can win. (They wait 4 seconds before inbounding the ball then toss it high and deep. Maybe the other team touches it, or it bounces around killing more time. Or if they're guarded, bounce it off the defender once to get another 5 seconds, then maybe more if you can get it to roll inbounds before going out.)

OK, ignoring the fact that in FIBA you have to have 2 players on the court, I have a problem with the last part of your post.

The offense has to inbound the ball within 5 seconds. For it not to be a violation, the inbound must touch a player within this time. So if the ball is rolled the length of the court, and no player touches it, it is still a 5 second violation. Also, waiting 4 seconds before inbounding the ball would have no effect, because tehe clock would be stopped.
