Consider a completley different situation, but one that is covered clearly by the rules and cases.
A1 is awarded 2 FTs. A time-out is then granted. After the time-out, the official is ready to administer the FT, but A1 is not in the semi-circle. The official correctly places the ball on the floor inside the semi-circle. At this point, two things are true:
1) The ball is at the disposal of A1
2) A1 cannot go get the ball without violating.
Seems to me your point is not supported by the rules. JMHO.
