Very simple explanation--the Center official watches too much NBA TV. The way that he administered the play is correct under NBA rules.

Almost correct. The shooter -- A2 -- would not have received the free throw. The player who got fouled -- A3, in this case -- would get the chance to complete the 3-point play.

Whoops. You're correct. Thanks for fixing that.
