First of two and the shooter misses the rim? I wouldn't say anything unless for some other reason, the defense violated just so coaches know why the shooter isn't getting a replacement free throw.

Also, there's no point in raising your hand on the first of two free throws. The point of raising our hand is to chop time in on a potential miss. If there's no chance the ball will remain live on a miss, then there's no reason to raise your hand.
