We do not shoot FTs on team control fouls because to do so is a double penalty.

#1, you lose the ball.
#2, the opposing team gets FTs.

Also, there's really no difference in the penalty aspect of a player control foul and a team control foul. The penalties should be the same.

That's why the rule was changed a few seasons ago.
