Tweet or no tweet?

It suddenly dawned on me that the only time, as the trail, I blow the whistle on such no-rim-touched violations is on the last free throw of the set. 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?

I don't sound my whistle, but I do pull out my smartphone and login into twitter.

What do you type? "Just saw a free throw violation, LOL!!!!"

I would not blow a whistle in this situation, just announce the violation unless it was obvious to all.
