There is a play ruling stating that the official should place the ball on the floor at the FT line if the thrower refuses to accept it. The ball would become live at that point.

There is no violation prior to the ball becoming live.

So it's a T if the shooter isn't there (10.3.5), but if he's there and pointedly refuses the ball, you just chase down the bouncing ball, give him a finger wag, and issue your do-over? Meanwhile, team A has benefited by allowing A2 extra time to get into the lane.

Where's the play? (Not that I don't believe you, but well, you know....)
