Double Free Throw Violation

On a miss, a double violation will result in going to the AP arrow and Team B will get the ball out of bounds, with the clock stopped, with a chance to win with a long pass. On a make, Team A takes a two-point lead, but Team B gets to make the long inbounds pass. The reason Team A wants to miss the free throw is the same reason Team B wants them to make it. The root of this problem is that the incentives and consequences of the free throw and the violations are misaligned. Should an officiating crew allow it to continue or intervene? If an official intervenes, is there a rule that could be invoked?

Not fully disagreeing because I don't have a better answer, but how about a citation for which technical foul to charge for deliberate intentional free throw violations?

When has this been discussed before, I searched but can't find it, I'm probably not using the correct key words?

Does it matter if the official has a date immediately after the game with a hot single Mom?
