refTN,
1. I'm not clear what "Couldn't agree any more" means:
a. I could not agree with you more, meaning "very much in agreement"
b. I find that I can no longer agree with you

Anyway, I did not see the play you described but it sounds like the right call - waving off the basket, that is. The defensive foul happened first, so it was called... if the shot is not waved off then you have to call the charge. In either case, there can be no FTs.

Perhaps this is case where a multiple foul should have been called??? When you think about it, continuation would mean the ball is not dead until the shot ends and both the hack by the first defender and the charge by the shooter happened during a live ball.
