Well any scenario that involved hopping would be unlikely, but lets say dribbler A1 twists an ankle as he approaches the division line and continues to dribble into the front court while hopping. The defensive pressure forces him back into the backcourt where he picks up his dribble and calls timeout.
I think this would be an advantage not intended by rule.
