I think if you're in the school that wants to issue a T in this situation, you could cite the above rule and say the actions described in the original post were "similar" and allowed the game to develop into an actionless contest.

The problem is that the ball becomes live as soon as the free throw shooter gets it.....and the defensive team never prevented the ball from becoming live. The violation is occurring
after the ball became live and
after the ball was put into play. Iow, the actions aren't similar at all and 10-5 isn't applicable.
