Stops To Adjust ...

While it was fairly obvious that Arike Ogunbowale intentionally faked her free throw (what was she thinking), is there any possibility that Carmelo Anthony did "not feel comfortable after starting his motion and stops to adjust"?

And, for sake of argument, if he did stop to adjust, with no intention of faking, how do we, in a high school game, penalize those non-shooters who prematurely moved and violated? Adjudicate just like any other free throw violation? Casebook play states that, under these circumstances, the "players in the lane spaces are expected to hold their positions". We can't have a do-over in high school basketball, can we?
