If the player is in a better position after than before, are they really so aggrieved?

Most players and coaches, if there is a direct scoring opportunity (i.e., and open layup), do not want you to call a foul that gives them a throwin. A few don't get it, but most would actually be upset with you for taking away 2 points.
