All this on a free throw that will result in a dead ball whether it is successful or not.
As for the OP, if the dead ball contact is severe enough call the T. But I would caution against that as I am not aware of others doing so. As far as unsporting, my tolerance level for them is low and really shouldn't be used as a comparison.

I agree. So if need be, call the T.
In fact, after watching the video on Eofficials.com, I would flag that foul as a T. It was ridiculous!
