I've seen this but from normal defense. I probably call 3-4 holds each year in this scenario. (Offensive player make good move to escape the defense, and the defense grabs jersey to avoid getting beat. Tweet!!)

As for the kick, they could fix this nicely if they redefined a throw-in to end when the ball legally touches another player. Since a kick is not a legal way of touching the ball, it would be natural to permit A1 to run the endline. (Same would apply to hitting it with a fist.)
Rich, you're only quoting half of the statement, you must be a reporter.

Have you ever seen it done on purpose? I think we all see fouls before the inbound play is complete; but have you ever seen a team do it on purpose to take away another teams right to run the baseline?

I for one, have not. This would also open up an ugly can o' intentional foul worms as well.
