Yet another scenario that shows why the rule should be changed to the following:
If the FT is made, ignore all violations (unless official determines that Offense violated trying to draw a disconcerntion violation; seee below).
If the FT is missed:
(1) Violation by offense; D gets the ball
(2) Violation by D; O gets the ball UNLESS the official calls disconcertion (which would be presumed if the ball is not live after the FT) in which case the FT is retaken. (Other than dead ball situations, this would probably only be called in the context of less than a second to play with a FT to tie or win the game.)
I think someone told me FIBA does something similar -- it lets the punishment fit the crime: a violation in trying to get the rebound gives the ball to the other side.
