The same thing you would do if the TO had not occured - follow 9-1 Penalties (4). It's pretty straight-forward.

I think it's only because it rarely happens. I've actually had to call this once, and it was a pretty simple explanation, "The TO doesn't erase the delayed violation". Coach didn't like it initially, but understood once it was explained.

Well, maybe to you. Remeber, in this whole discussion, I haven't said whether I like it, only that I understand how it is to be called. There are many instances where "common sense" or "I think this should be called differently to be more fair" exists, but we're only left with following the rules, whether we agree or not.
