When I first read this I was wondering why on Earth Team B would want to keep violating. Duh, must be late!
Obviously, Team B is violating to keep Team A from purposely missing a shot in hopes of a rebound and a made shot to win the game.
Well, what if Team A keeps trying to miss...and Team B keeps violating? I would say you could call that an "actionless contest". (use to be a term used for something different) You could then advise Team B not to violate again on purpose...I wouldn't think you could advise Team A not to miss a shot on purpose, as many teams miss more FTs than they make...even when they are TRYING to make the shot. Besides, violating and missing a shot are two seperate issues.
Oh yeah, Rule 2-3..."The referee shall make decisions on any points not specifically covered in the rules."
