Had one of these during the season. But it was caught during the interim between FTs. Opponents claimed the wrong guy was on the line. I had asked for the ball from a different player than the one who went to the line. The calling official could not remember who got fouled and he was the only one in position to see who got fouled. The shooter told a teammate "I don't think they will take that one away" and the new C heard it. We got the players from both teams together and told them about the intentional deceit. We wiped out the FT and had the correct shooter go to the line. And we informed both coaches. No T, but a lesson learned.
