An official I worked with once had the same situation that you just mentioned about not catching the ball. A player got his 4th and tossed the ball in the air in frustration. My partner, who called the foul, told him if the ball hits the floor it's a T. Needless to say, he caught it. I agree that if the player is mad at himself, I usually let it go, unless he tosses it down court, spikes it 20' in the air, etc... However, if he does this in anger because he just got a foul, and he is showing us up, WHACK!!!!!
