Travesty or strategy?
We had this conversation a month or so ago. Same situation, except A didn't try to miss the free throws. Is it a travesty to intentionally violate the rules, or just good strategy? On the other hand, is intentionally missing a shot any different? I agree that you warn player B to stop intentionally violating. But you can't tell a player to stop intentionally missing a free throw!
Ultimately, I believe B is at the disadvantage, but they should be. They obviously had to foul that late in the game to be in that position. Warn B, play on, T him if he does it again.
