Chuck,
Could you please check the question again? I'm surprised that no one else has pointed this out yet, but A1, A2, and A3 are all teammates. So if A1 is shooting FTs and A2 and A3 are in the lane, it is an immediate violation when you throw the ball to the shooter.
If you meant B2 and B3 are in the lane, then the RPP should be used and a delayed violation is the proper call, since this is following a time-out.
