That was a fake?

Its hard to see how a shooting motion without the ball in hand could be construed as a "fake try". Some players do this as part of their visualization process before shooting. Some coaches teach their players to do it as part of their routine. All the other player who went in after he did it followed one guy who clearly was not paying attention. Bad play and coaching with respect to the first guy in the lane, particularly under Fed rules where they have to wait for rim or backboard contact.
