I'm switching to what you should do\what you said. Ran to get my book to quote 9.3.3 D, but I had forgotten the end of it:

If time is not a factor, the defense should be penalized with the violation or a technical foul for unsporting behavior

I think the reference is the delay of game T on players (actionless contest). I don't have my book at work, though, so I can't quote the rule.

Non-contact, away from the ball, illegal defensive violations (I.e. blah blah blah) specifically designed to stop the clock near the end of a period or take away a clear advantageous position by the offense should be temporarily ignored. The defensive team should not benefit from the tactic. If time is not a factor, the defense should be penalized with the violation or a technical foul for unsporting behavior

I'd call it a clear advantageous position in this scenario which the defense is attempting to negate.

The foundation for this to be considered illegal by B is The Intent and Purpose of the Rules passage in the front of the book:

A player or a team should not be permitted an advantage which is not intended by a rule.

This seems simple enough to penalize Team B with an unsportsmanlike technical.

There is nothing in the rules that states it's illegal, in any situation, to purposely miss a free throw. Heck, by just shooting the free throw they are turning the game into an "action contest".

But it is against the rules to go into the lane before the free throw is released. Doing so is not only a violation but actually causes the game to turn into an "actionless contest". And turning the game into an "actionless contest" is grounds for a technical foul.

What if it was obvious what was happening, but on the second attempt A1 accidentally banks it in? Would you count the point and still call the T?

Also, if A has the possession arrow, then would the best course of action be to miss the rim or step over the line and commit a violation yourself after B has entered the lane? That would go to alternating possession arrow, correct?

If the attempt is made the game goes on, so there's no "actionless contest" to give a tech for.

If I'd already warned the coach, yes I'm calling the T.

If I hadn't warned him, play on.

A shouldn't be required to use their possession arrow to counteract B's illegal advantage.
