Or, during a timeout before attempting free throws, a player grabs a ball and starts practice shooting the ball straight up near the huddle. Or could be a cold bench player being called in to shoot technical FTs, wanting to get a better feel.

There's no rule against any of these acts and absolutely no reason in the world for an official to worry about any of 'em either imo.
