At a camp a few years ago, a similar question came up. This may also apply to the inbounder who fakes throwing the ball in the defender's face.

I was told that if an action is faked that, if actually carried out would be a foul, then you should call the T. If the action, if carried out instead of faked, would not be a foul, then it's a no call.

I'm not saying I totally agree with this philosophy, but it is food for thought.
So the penalty for pretending to do something is harsher than actually doing it? Doesn't seem fair to me....
