You can play with just the one player, and they would have to inbound as you said. I saw such an inbound at a WNBA game once. (They had all 5 players still.) The inbound was under the offensive basket. Four offensive players moved way out (beyond 3-point arc) and their defenders followed them. The inbounder faked outside and when the defender guarding her moved out on the fake she bounced the ball off the defender's leg, stepped inbounds, grabed the ball which had caromed into the paint, and made an easy 2.
I think you have a permanent line violation for no defenders, meaning the other team will eventually make all their freethrows.
Obviously a single player can't last long in this situation, but if they're up by 15 points with 20 seconds to go, they can win. (They wait 4 seconds before inbounding the ball then toss it high and deep. Maybe the other team touches it, or it bounces around killing more time. Or if they're guarded, bounce it off the defender once to get another 5 seconds, then maybe more if you can get it to roll inbounds before going out.)
