Following is a NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretation from 1995-96. It sort of fits this situation but not exactly:

SITUATION #17: A1 is preparing to attempt the first of two free throws. B1, who is occupying a marked lane space, fakes as if to enter the lane prematurely. A1 releases the ball but it does not strike the ring or enter the basket.

RULING: The violation for faking applies only to players along the lane and only if an opponent enters the lane early because of the fake. However, in this situation the administering official may judge that the fake disconcerted A1. If disconcertion is called, the violation by A1 is disregarded and a substitute throw is awarded. If disconcertion is not ruled, A1's violation cancels the first attempt and the second attempt is awarded. (9-1-3,4, Penalty 3)

I have the remaining interps from 95-96, but am not sure how to post them.

Technical foul on A2 for knowingly shooting A1's FT.

That all depends upon who has the fastest whistle!:) Just kidding.
