Where does it say "automatic?"

No it is not.

First of all I long got away from using the term "automatic" when referencing what I will call. For one there is no such rule that says this is illegal in anyway. Secondly, if the player is frustrated with themselves then it might not be looked at by me the same as if they are upset with me, a partner or an opponent.

A similar thing happen in the National Championship game between Kansas and Memphis and a Memphis player slammed the ball after he missed about 4 FTs in a row. The officials properly understood the situation and did not give a T.

Peace
