Im in a position of the offense shouldn't be given a free pass/do over because one or several players can't make an uncontested 15 ft set shot with no clock.
In my scenario I posted the team does make the free throws. If you are up 1 you can make both free throws and the other team now has a chance to tie

You could foul them and only give them a chance at 2. These are all strategy calls within the rules that have risk reward components nothing wrong with it.

The only real issue is teams doing it all game because a player is so bad at free throws, giving him free, uncontested shots is a good strategy. The problem isn't really with the rules.

Then you play defense. It's a game. If you over regulate it, then you start to make it scripted. Takes away from the purity of the game IMO.
