Argue whether or not it was an IF all day. But #3 in blue earned his T. To turn around and say that the official gave the other team free throws is just wrong.
For the record, I would not have had an IF on that play either. But if a partner did, so be it.

The point is that the one bad call created the situation which led to the T. Without it, there would not have been a T. Yes, the player bears responsibility for his actions in triggering the T but the official is not free from fault. They both messed up. To say otherwise or to try to say the two calls have nothing to do with each other is just ignoring reality.
