I don't have my rules book with me, but doesn't it say something about using intimidating tactics? If we're talking about a few moving screens where the defense voluntarily runs 10 feet away, I've got nothing. But if we're talking about a point guard running between the tackles following the full back and tight end, with the defense running for cover, I'll allow the first basket to count. But I'm stopping the ball right now and informing the coach that it's a play I find questionable and any future occurrances will force me to decide whether to call an unsportsmanlike T on his girls. It would be in his best interest not to make me decide.
FWIW, the first time I have to call it, I'll pick one of the blockers and call a T. The next time, I'm calling a T on each blocker.
The play in question was done repeatedly, to the point where the defense eventually got scared. This isn't basketball.
Same situation as the player getting on all fours to set a screen.
