Obviously this would occur with seconds left and team down by more than one. It is clear he is not attempting to sink the free throw, but he does not seem to be in violation of any other rule?

On possesion arrow, in first half does it point towards the bench of the team whos' turn it is to get the ball, or does it point in the "direction" a team is going. Obviously in second half the bench and "direction" is the same.
Yes, this kind of free throw is legal.

The arrow points in the direction a team is going.
