Nice try.
Bad/incorrect calls are made all the time. And the plain fact is that several officials on this forum agreed with the IF call. So we can't even all agree that this was a bad call.
That player is responsible for his actions. He earned that T.
You threw a fellow official under the bus, saying he "gave" them four free throws. Feeds right into the perception that some people have that we all cheat. Again, argue the correctness of a call, but don't say the official was cheating ( and yes, that is what you were saying).
