Tweet or no tweet?

I suppose I just didn't see the point to do it otherwise. Sure, it's a violation, but missing everything on the first free throw (or second of three) results the same as simply missing the shot (double violations notwithstanding).

For everyone, free-throw shooter misses everything, but he has at least one more coming. Tweet or no tweet?

2.4.1.C.1. - "For a free-throw violation by the free thrower or a teammate, follow the same procedure as for a floor violation if no other free throw is to follow." That seems to indicate that a whistle is not necessary in your sitch. Since there is another free throw to follow, the "same procedure", for example a whistle, isn't needed.
We don't do it here.
Sound sound?
