If this was the first free throw this player shot during the game, I'd blow my whistle, step in the lane and say something like "OK, now that we all know his motion, let's try again" I can't really consider the action as described a "fake".
On the other hand, if this happened later in the game and this player had shot free throws earlier without using the "practice" motion, I'd have a violation by the shooter.
