JMHO.
I think you can just change the team-control foul rule:

A team control foul is a common foul committed by a member of the team that has either team control or has the ball at its disposal for a throw-in or free-throw.

As an aside, I definately got this question wrong on the IAABO new member exam two seasons ago because of my experience with NCAA. I most certainly want to see this rule changed to match!
