So...being the devious howler monkey I am, is the following scenario possible (and legal, of course):

My team is down by 2, with 2 seconds left. My player is shooting the second of two FTs. If he makes it, we're still down by one, and chances of winning are slim, and his buddy, none. If he misses it, same chances. But, I realize the AP arrow is pointing my way. So, I tell my shooter during my last time out (between the FTs), to slightly delay as he shoots his FT, anticipating the opponents will try like heck to jump in the lane and box us out. I tell my players not to get in the lane until well after the ball is released. I then tell my shooter, if the opponents do jump in the lane early, to shoot an air ball. Would you call the double violation in this situation? Or, did slim exit with the refs, and leave me with none? What if I told you ahead of time that the possibility existed that my shooter, because he's nervous, of course, could shoot an airball if the opponents happen to move early?
