I would like to see some clarification on this from the NF. It seems this is one of those situations where the punishment may not fit the crime. If someone ends up on the floor it doesn't necessarily mean it was intentional. Yet calling nothing if the attempt is made seems to open you up for aggresive play at the other end (that may just continue to escalate). Allowing a common foul during the free throw seems just as reasonable as if it was between two players in the lane. I had this happen during garbage time in a 30 point blow out with the reserves in. The basket was also good, and I called a common foul. Team was in the bonus so he went back to the line.
