Great story. Sure glad I wasn't involved in that game!

Well, Aggie Sale played from 1930-1933. Back then, I'm pretty sure that every foul was penalized by a free throw. (After the 7th foul of the half, the fouled player received his regular free throw, and then received a second throw as a "bonus" if he made the first.)
So it wouldn't matter if the player was in the act of shooting or not. It wouldn't matter if the team was "in the bonus" or not.
Somebody would get a FT. Of course, I have no idea how the other team got the FT when Sale got fouled
