Second question is that while Miller was trying to get the blood stopped, the announcers were talking about how that if Miller had to come out, the opposing coach would get to choose who shot the free throws. Is this correct? Did anyone else hear this?

Remember that they are using NBA terminology and rules.
Flagrant in the NBA doesn't have the same meaning as flagrant under NCAA and NFHS rules.
Yes, UNDER NBA RULES the fouled player must attempt his FTs in the NBA or he can't participate any further in the contest. If he needs to be replaced, the opposing coach selects someone from the team's bench to attempt the FTs.
