I would go so far as to say you shouldn't penalize him for extending his arms vertically; as specifically allowed for in the rules without any condition of having to be airborne.
The rules say he's allowed to do two things; why penalize him for only doing one?

No sir, you fail to acknowledge that he "straightens up"
after A1 has the rebound & t/c
And I said a few posts ago that this sounds like a play on instead of a game interupter. but hey, it's tough to say what one would/wouldn't call unless you are actually on the court for said play.
