So, by this logic, if a player is contacted and is subsequently able to heave the ball toward the goal, that should be considered what he was trying to do all along and he should be given free throws for being smart enough to try to sell that.
Whether it was a try or not must be judged
before the contact. It is unusual for a player to throw a pass in this circumstance, but not extremely so. To flatly say that such a pass eliminates any chance at free throws is still very wrong.
I'm done........probably.
