Flagrant foul during the shot

1. Not really, what it does is reward the offense for making their shot.

2. Don't bother, it's wrong. Consider the following scenarios:

a) A1 goes up for a shot and is fouled by B1. It's team B's 7th foul. Are you going to award bonus FTs for the foul plus two for the shot?
b) B8, sitting on the bench, tells the official what he thinks of the calls. Official calls a T, applying the indirect to the HC. The T is the 10th team foul. Are you going to shoot 2 for the T and 2 for the bonus?

The answer is obviously "no" to both. Every foul gets one penalty, and only one penalty.
