Interestingly enough, I saw a ref call this in a varsity game last year for a player yelling "ball, ball, ball..." when guarding someone. Another player in a youth tournament asked me about it just last week when a player was yelling at them using simular techniques. What do you guys think?
Just this morning, I had a kid yell "ball, ball, ball" while defending on an inbound play. I blew the whistle, took the ball back from the inbounder, put it up in front of the face of the defender and said, "Yes, it IS a ball. Now that we've all agreed on that, let's just play basketball - OK?"
The kid laughed and we didn't hear anything like it the rest of the game.
