Spot Throw-in or run the endline?

The odds of that are small -- the team is better off with the FT (plus the opportunity to rebound if the FT is missed). I suppose if A1 was a 10% FT shooter, and B will get 90% of the rebounds, that it might be the better choice.

Agreed. There are so many factors in play that have to go perfectly (including the officials calling a double foul rather than penalizing the first action) that isn't not a viable tactic to even try.
