The only problem I see with it is that underhanded is not a shot that you would normally launch in a game, where as the form involved in a FT is similar to a mid-range shot.
But thats the point, the reason you take the ball up high to shoot is because it is harder to block. Thats not an issue with the free throw (hence the word "free").

If not a granny shot then a modified chest pass. any shooting motion that is symmetrical about the ball has to be better than the imitation of the jump shot that players use now. Its a matter of time until some coach somewhere insists on a symmetrical free throw and gets good results and starts a trend.
