What I meant here was - If the shooter accidentally "muffs/drops" the ball as described, and it gets away from him, would you as an official determine it wasn't an intentional fake, "blow it dead" (preventative officiating) before any violation, ask for the ball back, and readminister the free-throw? It's a COA.
PS - I've never seen it either.
