I don't have much of a problem with giving him 3 free throws. Frankly, it looks to me like he knew he was about to get fouled so he decided to put up a shot. Best case, he doesn't get fouled and ends up running the clock out with that shot attempt. Next best, he gets fouled and gets three shots, and the coach for the other team loses his mind and adds four more free throws to the mix. Worst case, no foul, and the ball is rebounded by the defense or goes OOB with less than a second left.
Looks like a pretty heady play to me.
