Ok so forget the word disposal. Ball was on the way up to be caught by the free throw shooter when the two players simultaneously switched. How much of a fraction of a second does that give me to "kill" the play? I still don't know how the situation should have been handled correctly.

If you're looking for the answer by rule, look at post 9 which is the case book play

If you notice it before the ball is at A1's disposal, then hit your whistle, get the ball back, then re-administer the free throw.

Frankly, if it's happening as the shooter is catching the ball from the official, I'm killing it to restart. I'm going to lean towards avoiding the violation here if I can. If, however, the defender initiated the entire thing, I'll just call the defensive violation (as Camron notes previously) and move on with the delayed defensive violation.

When in doubt whether it happened before or after the ball was at the disposal, it happened before. Blow the whistle even if the whistle is after the ball was caught.
