I'm with the rest of you guys here, and would call a double violation then use the AP arrow, but Camron has a legitimate point.
If the official does deem that something done by an opponent qualifies as disconcertion, then any violation by the shooter will only be considered in deciding if a legal goal is scored, but otherwise not penalized. So in the situation at hand, the FT cannot count as it was not legally scored due to the shooter crossing the FT line, but if the official deemed the defender to have disconcerted, then a substitute throw would be awarded. Essentially, administering the 1 & 1 over again would be the right way to handle it in that specific case.
The officials on the game cannot possibly have been correct, no matter what they called, since they scored a FT that was illegally made.
