I know that many players say shoot-it, and I will against my own players to get their goat in a scrimmage or in a pick-up game with friends. But I don't want my players talking to the opposition in a real game - ever. If I want to encourage a player to shoot, I will do so in how we play defense. We will leave a notoriously bad shooter open and invite them to shoot. But we will do so through action (or more appropriately, inaction!) not words.
