Thanks for any clarification

There are no special rules that I am aware of that the PIAA has added to the NFHS set in this area. The above refs are correct that yelling during a FT can be considered disconcertion and each ref will manage the game in the way they see best. Since this is a league in a local township, perhaps there are local rules adopted for this league.
