What rights does B1 have while she is holding the ball? Could a defender legally steal the ball, if it didn't involve any body contact? Could B1 be fouled?

Could a defender intercept the ball while it is in the air on the pass from B1 to B2?
Yes

Team B has the rght to consume 5 seconds until the ball is inbounded. Since B1 is part of team B she has that right as well.

No

Yes

No
I didn't number my questions, so I'm interpolating to see which answers go to which questions. (I think I'm interpolating, not extrapolating -- trigonometry was 35 years ago!). So I think you answer "Yes" to the question, "Could B1 be fouled?" Would it just be a personal foul? Could B1 commit a foul? Would it be PC?

If the defense did interfere with the pass to oob, would it be a Delay of Game Warning for interfering with making the ball promptly live? Somehow that doesn't sound right.

While B1 is standing inbounds holding the ball, is the ball live? Is there team control?

This seems like a pretty smart maneuver. Why haven't more teams done it already?
