However, if the tactic in any way interferes with the thrower's efforts to make a throw-in, a technical foul for delay shall be called even though no previous warning has been issued. In this situation, if the official stopped the clock and issued a team warning, it would allow the team to benefit from the tactic."

So, in that particular case, yes, you would run the clock.

O.K. trying to fiigure this out ...

You would ignore any attempt to delay the game with under five seconds, but if they interfere with the thrower - you would call a technical foul without warning ... where does it read you run time off the clock?

The ruling ended with: "allow the team to benefit from the tactic."
