What about if a team has screeners lock arms while setting a double screen?
Sorry, but it is the responsibility of the coach and team to know the playing rules.

Those are live-ball actions, practicing during a dead ball is (by definition) a dead-ball action. I think that makes a pretty significant difference.

Same thing here.

Actually, that's allowed in MN (by state adoption, not by FED rule).
As others have said, there's three ways to prevent this from happening, preferably used in this order:
1) Have the official who will be administering the free throw/throw-in hold the ball during the time-out.
2) "Hey, you can't do that. You need to go back to your bench"
3) Whack.
If you do #1, the other two should never be an issue, unless the player somehow gets a hold of one of the warm-up balls.
