So we have an obvious fake that worked. Seems pretty easy at this point: delayed FT violation.

You ignored it? How did you do that? Did you say to yourself, "Whew, I'm glad that went in because otherwise I'd have to deal with something?" Maybe you decided that if the shot missed, you would have stuck out your fist with a horinzontal arm.
Either way, from my above conclusion, signal the violation and deal with it properly. Since the attempt went it, leave your whistle alone. Had it missed, blow the play dead and puke on B1's shoes.

From what I can tell, this is the part you did correctly. Talking to a player to prevent a future violation/foul is always good: it is called preventative officiating. Just remember to treat each team and coach the same; and not in just that game, but from game to game and season to season.
