What Would You Do?

I would have said, " Coach, get your player over here to shoot the free throws and by the way who would you like to shoot the technical shots??"
If he persisted I would ask "which other rules should we set aside tonight?? I cant believe he actually thought and had the nerve to ask you to do it!

"Coach we don't have the option to set that rule aside, we are going to enforce it"

Coach, if you don't want the points, just have your shooter violate. But we have to award the free throws.

Just out of curiosity was this a varsity game? Have had this happen at the lower levels before, but never heard of it at the varsity level...

The coach doesn't realize it, but he's put the crew in an awkward position, one which will leave nobody happy.

Something similar happened in a game last year in NCAA D.1 game.
A technical foul was called on the home mascot. The visiting coach thought it was wrong and instructed his shooter to miss both free throws intentionally.
