My immediate answer was false. There is no team control during a free throw,

You're wrong, JAR.
The ball is live during a free throw, as per NFHS rule 6-1-2(c). A1 has player control because he is holding a live ball inbounds, as per rule 4-12-1. Team A is in control because A1 has player control, as per rule 4-12-2. Team control continues until the ball is in flight on the try(FT attempt), as per rule 4-12-3(a) When A2 now fouls while his team(i.e. A1) still has team control, that foul meets the definition of a team control foul under rule 4-19-7.
The correct answer therefore is true.
