I think the OP is proposing a rules / interp change / clarification.
If so, I'd propose:
If a player grabs the ball (play 1), the period immediately ends. Contact is ignored unless I or F.
If the ball is illegally touched (kicked, fisted), the clock does not start. If the touch itself is legal, but the player simultaneously commits a violation, .3 runs off the clock. (Or, I'd live with no time in either scenario)
