I think the consensus here is that this is interference. Do you agree?

If so, can I really make this a legal action by doing it all the time?

On the other hand, if R3 is always doing this, F2 has fair warning not to try throwing directly over R3's head.

Basketball players have been doing this on free throws for years - it's illegal to wave your arms to distract a free throw shooter, so defensive players along the lane do it all the time "to be in position to grab a rebound"....yeah, right...
