No. I've had that stressed to me by different coaches over the years; I'm not sure where you would go in order to obtain the official definitions of the stats for high school.
According to the 2005 NCAA Statisticians' manual:
"A player should not be charged for a shot from the field or from the free-throw line influenced by the illegal actions of himself or herself, teammates, or opponents, unless the shot results in a field goal or free throw made. Shooting percentages should reflect as closely as possible the accuracy of the player and his or her team. Shooting percentages should not reflect shots that failed under the influence of illegal actions.
...which would also cover whether or not a teammate violating on a FT would be considered as a missed attempt (it would not - even if the shooter is the one who violated!).
