If A1 heaves the ball off the rim by the direction of team A coach, he/she is choosing to continue to promote an actionless contest. Now, I did say the player can miss...he/she just can't throw it one-handed at 50 MPH off the rim by direct instruction from his/her coach...and did I mention that I'm standing right there as said coach tells the player this? I think that can be assumed too.
AGAIN, assume I have already warned both coaches about their (and their team's) antics!

No, A is NOT promoting an actionless contest. The FT ends, and play continues -- what's "actionless" about that.
Case 5.9.3 gives a specific example where A purposely misses the FT and hits the rim. The play is legal.
