Based on the structure, I'm with you on this. However, every year the committee ends up rewriting some part of the rulebook because it doesn't say what they meant. So who knows?

The wording in the NCAA rulebook is different: "The free-thrower shall not purposely fake a try nor shall the free-thrower’s teammates nor opponents purposely fake a violation." This makes it clear that a fake is a violation whether or not anyone comes into the lane as a result.
