Look at NCAA Rule 10-7.3: "Purposely obstructing an opponent's vision by waving or placing hand(s) near his or her eyes" is a direct technical foul, no matter whether the opponent is a jump shooter, set shooter, dribbler, screener, etc. The reasoning behind this, I'd guess, is that this can be very dangerous. Note that the hand(s) need to be near the eyes to be illegal. Simply raising your hand and obscuring your opponent's sight line is legal.
