Faking a free throw is not the same as missing it intentionally. This was a legal play and should continue to be legal as a counter to strategic fouling.
It is unfortunate that the player made a good play and the officials interfered with it, but that's basketball.
As many have said here before, wait to see the whole play before whistling.
