I'll Give You A Topic, Is A Delayed Violation A Violation? Talk Amongst Yourselves

We do not need to judge whether the act was directed at the thrower. If the potentially disconcerting act, intentional or unintentional, directed at the thrower or not, DID disconcert the thrower, it IS a violation and a replacement throw shall be awarded.
Good points, but don't forget about the delayed violation fist. If the official believes that a disconcerting act has taken place, they should signal the delayed violation fist before the free throw is made, or missed, wait for the outcome, and then ignore the violation if made, call the violation if missed.
