Actually, now that you mention it, any trip to the line is going to be counted whether it's in the act of shooting or in the bonus (except technical FTA, I take those out).
But should we remove off-the-ball attempts from the equation? I would argue no, since these effectively do count as a possession just the same as if it were a FGA.

Away-From-The-Play Foul:
Once the game clock reaches 2:00 in the fourth period or 2:00 of overtime periods, any defensive foul prior to the ball being released during a throw-in shall be penalized with one free throw by any player in the game and retaining the ball at the same spot. Also during this time, the same penalty would apply if a defender takes a foul against an offensive player who is not part of the action. This is to prevent teams from fouling players who are not the best free throw shooters as a strategy to gain an advantage in the critical part of a game.
