Right after I wrote that post I wanted to modify it but had to leave for a game. I should have said if they want the FTs then try to shoot the darn ball. I'm not going to penalize A1 if he/she gets hit hard enough that they can't release the ball. However, if they can get it out of their hands and purposely pass it to a teammate, for me, they've also passed up their chance at getting FTs.
