Rule 9-1-5 says "No opponent shall disconcert the free thrower." See Casebook examples for 9-1-5. They include examples of arm movements, committing fouls, opening and closing hands. If an official interprets that act as disconcerting, then it is a violation.

Please notice that opponent also includes the team members and bench personnel sitting on the team bench. They too are covered by this rule and are thus not allowed to yell at the opposing free thrower. If they do, they should be charged with disconcertion. Tell them to leave that stuff to the fans.
