A2(who is near the FT line on the far elbow) says to A1 " let me throw in the ball, I'll throw it in", and A2 starts walking slowly toward A1, the def always relaxes and it results in a easy layup.
Plays of this type are illegal in football (making the defense think there's a problem and the play isn't going to be run).

I wish they would come out with clear language in basketball as well.
10 yards in Canada, "misleading tactics".

Only in Canada do they have distance penalties in basketball.
