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?

The foul was not unnecessary contact therefore no Flagrant. That is what we ask ourselves when assessing a Flagrant Foul penalty 1.
Nevada is right about Miller being injured as were the broadcasters. If Miller would have been unable to shoot his FTs he would not have been allowed to return to the game and the opposing coach would select the shooter from the bench.
Had they called a Flagrant 1 and the player is injured, the coach of the injured player would get to choose from the 4 remaining players on the floor and had it been a Flagrant 2 the coach could choose any player to shoot the FTs.
