But following B's timeout, they get to inbound the ball at half court. Sure they do, just ask any coach!

Just ignore the violation. Its like any other end of game delay tactic. See, for example, case play 9.3.3 which deals with similar violations for purpose of delay. I know this general theory is stated in a rule somewhere too and I will look for it. But I found the case play right away (related to running out of bounds to get a stoppage of time) and it states the general theory:

"Non-contact, away from the ball, illegal defensive violations specifically designed to stop the clock near the end of a period or take away a clear advantageous position by the offense should be temporarily ignored. The defensive team should not benefit from the tactic. If time is not a factor, the defense should be penalized with the violation or a technical foul for unsporting behavior. (10-1-8)."

I would use that same principal in your situation. Warn him once to knock it off. If he does it again, T him. It is clearly a non-contact, away from the ball illegal defensive violation designed to hinder what the offense is trying to do at the end of the game.

I know, I know.... BUT:

This is in fact the FIBA rule. It makes for many very exciting endings!
