Not only could you say that, I think you must. iirc, the ball is not at the disposal of the FTer until s/he catches it (or it's placed on the floor in the resumption of play procedure).

Agree, which is why I wouldn't call an immediate violation under 9-1-7 on her. If she does get the ball though, she ain't gonna get away with wandering outa the circle. She also ain't gonna get to talk to her coach either, no matter what. As Chuck said, immediate delay-of-game "T" as per 10-3-6(a), or shoo-and-warn if you're a nice guy like me.
