team A shooting second free throw; I am lead; Team B player in lane space nearest to me does an obvious fake to try and draw team A player into lane, it works somewhat but I ignore it as Team A shooter makes the shot and away we go. I eventually had a break where I told the Team B player to knock it off.

How would you have handled it, both by the rules as violation or tech and informally? something more I should have done?

if Team A had missed, how should I have handled it? can I just call violation for the fake and let Team A shoot again?
What do you mean "it worked somewhat?" Did B cause A to violate? If the succeeding violation by A was obvious then you may be in sticky situation.

However, if you choose to ignore both the B fake and the resulting A violation then you have to ignore it regardless of whether the ball goes in or not. If you do not then you are giving Team A a reward they do not deserve. If both violate as a result of the fake then you need to cancel the shot and then award a substitute throw.

Call it that way, 43, and you'd be the one in a "sticky situation"- LOL . You're completely wrong- twice- when the free throw is good and when it doesn't go in.

Rule9-1PENALTIES4(d)- "If there is violation first by the free thrower's opponent followed by the free thrower or a teammate... if a fake by an opponent causes the free thrower or a teammate of the free thrower to violate, only the fake is penalized".

Case book play 9.1.6 SITUATION A(a):
While A1 is attempting a final free throw, B1 enters the lane too soon followed by A2, both of whom are in marked lane spaces.
RULING. In (a), if the try is successful, the goal shall count and the violation shall be ignored. If the try is unsuccessful, the ball shall remain dead when the free throw ends and a substitute free throw is awarded.

Iow, Blewthat didn't blow that.
