In 14 years I have never called a 10 second violation on a free throw.

In that case I had to watch how long he took so there would be no advantage.
I keep a closer watch during running-clock games, but it usually takes more time to call the violation, set up team B for a throw-in, pause the game to explain the violation to A's coach, re-set B for a throw-in, etc. than to just tell the player to hurry up and shoot.
