Bob, that was my first thought as well, but can we apply that clause to repeated violations of the free throw?
We could, but not per the application of that specific throw-in rule.

I don't think I'd call the T here (shock to those who know me). I see this situation as using the rules to your advantage - not bending the rules.
Aren't you a scorekeeper? You don't call anything.

If a team is repeatedly violating a rule to gain an advantage, then there's goping to be a penalty, even if the specific situation was not thought of by the rule / case book editors.
