You can't pick the offensive team at all because they are not committing a violation and they are not turning the game into an actionless contest in any way. Au contraire, they are getting the ball back into play quicker by missing than if they had made the FT.There is no penalty in place anywhere in the rules that deals with a missed FT. Having a penalty for that would be the height of ridiculousness.

I think the "actionless contest" is the only thing that gives you an out here....although a coach could argue that it isn't actionless....there is no place in the book that a violation when repeated is considered actionless, unless I missed it.
