Go pick up the ball, without blowing the whistle, and throw it at a player (or hand it to one) so you can start the clock!!!

I actually like Bob's answer.

The rules allow us to shorten the length of a period at the agreement of both teams. I'm sure the team that's ahead wouldn't have a problem. I'd be willing to take the trailing team's lack of action as an indication that they don't want to continue. I'd warn them first, of course.

I'm not inclined to go with IW (or double TF), because black gets an advantage if they get the throw in (they get to throw the ball down court with the clock stopped).

That's taking 2-3 to new heights!
