With a simple do-over, "Both teams are equally penalized"
only if the first throw was successful:
Due to penalty on Off ---> Made FT is cancelled.
Due to penalty on Def ---> Offense shoots again.
But, with a simple do-over, if the first throw was missed:
Due to penalty on Off ---> Missed FT doesn't count.
Due to penalty on Def ---> Offense is allowed another chance.
Advantage ---> Offense
Actuarial tables show that the offense makes 60%, 50%, 40% of their free throws?
So, at 60% the offense is penalized more often, but at 40%, the defense is penalized less often....
Aaaargh! I saw
that player first!
