10-1-5 applies to dead ball situations and those where a team tries to keep the ball from becoming live or put into play (see case book last play on 10-1-5). The lack of action rule has not been in place since the very early '90s. Assuming you do not have any sort of backcourt or throw in violation (and you don't), this would be a legal play. It isn't subject to the travesty rule as it isn't a travesty.
The problem here is that additional, non-Fed rules, are in place. This situation would never happen in any regular Fed games that don't play with "extra" rules. Since under normal fed rules, the defense has the ability to go get the ball, what if they decide they won't do it?
