Just curious, why didn't the shooting team just violate? I don't want to diminish what was done, but it could have been done without having the player hurt his stats.

I'm guessing they just thought this was the easiest or maybe they didn't think of your, or other possible options at the time.

You're probably right. They may not even know you can violate during a T shot.

Probably thought the same officials that were so bent on sticking an administrative T here, might view whistling the free thrower stepping over the line as a game interruptor.

Good judgement by the coach and free thrower.

I would have called the T, and suggested a violation to the coach after he said he didn't want it.

Reminds me of this:

Isn't sportsmanship great. "I'm a little verklempt". (Coffee Talk with Linda Richman)
