Frankly, if it's happening as the shooter is catching the ball from the official, I'm killing it to restart. I'm going to lean towards avoiding the violation here if I can. If, however, the defender initiated the entire thing, I'll just call the defensive violation (as Camron notes previously) and move on with the delayed defensive violation.
