Completely different situation. Throwing a punch results in an ejection, whether you make contact or not, in soccer, basketball or most any other sport at the amateur level.

Faking a throw to the face is not illegal. However, if this is going on, there maybe other unsporting acts to follow. It would definitely scream, "Keep an eye on my me!"
