Otherwise, the rules state to not attempt the FTs, not to ignore or fail to report the foul.

Did you meant: attempt the free throws and not to ignore or fail to report the foul?
I'm reporting the foul and shooting the free throws, unless there is a safety concern!
These points could have a bearing on tournament or district seeding and they sure could matter to the kid that was fouled.

Tournament or district seedings are not our concern. Free throws which do not impact the outcome of the game are not shot. As for reporting a foul, I probably wouldn't do that either.

I'm thinking the only reason to report a foul in that scenario is if it's flagrant (NF) or and F2 (NCAAW for me) since there's an automatic ejection attached. If it's a common foul there's really no purpose.

In my state we could file a Special Report for any flagrant act or ejection that is normally field on these kinds of situations. So I would see no purpose to actually report if we decided to eject a player for a foul near the end of the game. But something tells me if such an act took place that resulted in some ejection, there would be a lot more going on that would have to be dealt with.

Peace

That's what I was thinking as well. If a kid gets an IF or FF at the buzzer there's going to be some crap to deal with that will keep us on the court.

Absolutely not. Not only is there no bearing on the game, but the rules clearly state to NOT shoot free throws that will not have an impact on the game.
