I think that the players tried some deception here. There is no way that Mitchell thought his shorts were grabbed.

There is a case to be made here for a T.
A.R. 164.
A2 attempts a free throw that should have been taken by A1. RULING: When the attempt by A2 is due to a justifiable misunderstanding, there shall be no penalty. The error shall be corrected under Rule 2-11. When it is reasonable to believe that A2 knew that A1 was the designated shooter, a direct technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct shall be called. In such a case, the direct technical foul penalty shall be administered and the game shall be re-started at the point of interruption.
