99.9% of all officials will call it one though. I would likely rule it disconcertion if it was done by an opponent.

And why do I get the feeling you would then have a foul on the poor sumna***** who tripped over the kid giving us 20?

You mean that it isn't legal for someone on the lane to go into a four-point football stance with both hands on the floor in the lane- before the ball is shot? Gives a new meaning to the term "blocking out".  [/B]

Interesting tactics we got developing here - A2, team mate of freethrower A1, is on the lane at the second spot. He crouches down into the football stance as the ball is released. FT misses, B1 goes for the rebound & stumbles over A2. Foul on B1. Nice, that will go a long way to cleaning up freethrows.
Elsewhere, our new tactic is to have the dribbler hop on one foot up & down the floor, going from one end to the other. Of course, he can only do this for 10 seconds. Would not want this game to slide into a state of inactivity.
Anyway...I'm surprised that more coaches don't come here to pick up these tidbits.
