I don't understand that line of thinking. As is right now, we do the exact same thing for the defense in that if they violate, we only care if the free throw is missed. That same would happen if we treated offensive violations the exact same way.
As for the clear path rule,
FIBA 2012
Rule 6, Article 32
36.1.3 To judge whether a foul is unsportsmanlike, the officials should apply the following principles:
...
• If a defensive player causes contact with an opponent from behind or laterally in an attempt to stop a fast break and there is no opponent between the offensive player and the opponents’ basket, it is an unsportsmanlike foul.
The NBA has a similar rule except it's a little more stringent...
There must be new team possession (as in they have to have held/dribbled the ball before they got fouled)
The play must originate in the backcourt (including throw-in in the backcourt)
The foul must occur between the tip of the court in the backcourt extended and the basket in the frontcourt court
When the player was fouled, there was no defender between the offensive player and the basket.
