An unusual situation

[ChuckElias]

Here's the situation. I've never seen it happen, it's just an interesting "what if. . .". TH, crew and I have been discussing it and I thought it would make for some interesting discussion.

4.2 seconds remaining in the 4th quarter. Team A leads by 3 points. B1 is in the act of shooting a 3-point try when a player from team A's bench runs on the floor contacts B1. The try is unsuccessful. What do we call, and how do we administer?

The NBA has a specific ruling that you would award 3 points and assess a T.

In HS and NCAA, it seems that the rules unfairly penalize the offended team. The most likely ruling is a flagrant T on the player from A's bench. But that only gives 2 shots, not enough to tie the game. And in NCAA, if the shot had already been released, then team B might not even get the ball back (they would go to the arrow).

What do you think is appropriate here? I have my own idea, but I'll hold off on giving it for a while.
