The philosophy of awarding two shoots

[truerookie]

I have been to several tournaments over the holiday season. IMO, I have observed a trend.

1). A1 is in the act of shooting; A1 is fouled official(s) blows the whistle for the foul; A1's shot is successful; official(s) disallows the basket but awards two shots for the foul.

Now, I'm not the brighest pupil in the classroom but this does not seem right.

I believe you should pass on the foul is the shoot is successful or count the basket and award one free-throw.

JMO, it does not make sense to disallow a basket but award free throws for a shooting foul.

Thoughts???
