Thanks for the input guys. Obviously there are a number of things that could have happened to complicate the situation even more...foul, shot, travel, etc. We did a do over. Fortunately, our supervisor agreed with us. But many officials don't Basically, you have to decide which rule you are going to break. You can either take time off of the clock with out definite knowledge, or you can choose to inbound the ball at a spot that is not at the nearst spot for a throw in, which is turns out to be a do over. The rule book doesn't really cover this situation too well. My supervisor, and NBA ref told us that if we are in a similar situation try to communicate with the timer during a dead ball or free throw just to remind them that they are an important part of the team, and we need them now.
Hopefully I won't have to face this situation again anytime soon.
