So the official called the violation for the thrower taking too long and the official decided the game? I would say the player should have decided to shoot a little bit sooner; he decided the game by violating.

Ditto above. If the player is taking THAT long to shoot it is likely a missed FT waiting to happen. Blow the whistle. Chances are it won't happen again. It is just like any other violation and you are penalizing the other team by not calling it.
