I had the same thought. The official clearly gives the T signal.

It's a matter of getting the call right. It's true that the most important thing is that the action was observed and the offender was punished by being DQ'd, but there are other lesser factors which should be handled correctly as well.

For example, it makes a difference which player from the offended team may shoot the 2FTs and also the ensuing throw-in spot would be different.

Small potatoes when compared with the meat of the play, but we should strive to get the whole meal just right.
