Sure, you could defend it if you had to; but I think it's a stretch. As fullor30 points out, you could do the same with a pump fake. You going to call a T at the start of a quarter when the offense lines up at the wrong end of the court with the hopes of luring the defense to the wrong end?
You might be able to stretch the meaning to include this play, but I would expect I'd have a very hard time justifying it to my assignors.
Just because it may be bush league doesn't mean it's a T.
