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

You say that's not automatic, but I bet you can't remember a time when you called a foul on a guy and he says, "no way", and slams the ball, and you did NOT give a T.
