It happened once in the national title game Georgetown vs. North Carolina. The Georgetown player (Brown) had the ball in the closing seconds in the frontcourt near the half court line. He saw movement behind and to the side of him. Thinking it was a teammate he threw the ball directly to the North Carolina player who was just standing there (I think James Worthy) who immediately went down court and I think was fouled. His free throws iced the game which I believe was a one possession game at the time of the mistake. John Thompson (being the player's coach he always was) immediately embraced his player and consoled him. This kind of stuff happens. It's just part of the game.
