[If A1 is at the line and B1 fakes, then you could have disconcertion; but that's totally different from what I'm asking.]

Could an official's judgement be that A2's action were "disconcertation" (free throwing team's violation) and award the ball to Team B for throw-in at the nearest spot to where the violation occured?

Why look for violations? There will be enough to call that are obvious during the flow of the game. I have witnessed more officials digging themselves into a hole by "looking" for fouls and violations. Knowing the rules is one thing, but applying them using good judgment is another, IMHO.
1. Trust your partner, 2. Referee the defense, 3. CALL THE OBVIOUS, and 4. Stay in your primary.
