Does the disconcertion supercede the violation by the free thrower?

No,it's not a double violation.You only penalise the disconcertion.It's spelled out in R9-1PENALTY3---"In penalty item(3),if a violation by the free thrower follows disconcertion,a substitute free throw will be awarded".Btw,if the disconcertion is by a bench player,can you still call it,or do you handle it differently?
