There is no flagrant call here. If the offensive player continues to the basket after the whistle is blown, I am going to make sure he barely gets the ball in the air.
But if the official feels that you're intentionally trying to keep the shooter from making the shot, after the foul by your teammate, you will be called for an intentional technical foul. The shooter will get two shots, if he doesn't make the shot, his team will get 2 more FTs and the ball. From a strategy standpoint, a hoop and a FT is much better than 4 FTs and the ball. Plus, although you may not think it's flagrant, if the shooter takes a fall, you could get tossed.

My point is that if the offensive player does not want to get fouled stop playing when the whistle blows.
That's not a point. The game's not played that way and you can't look at it that way. Hopefully, you realize that.
