A1 is shooting a free throw. B1 distracts his by talking and making comments to A1. Our association interpeter told us that this is an unsportsmanlike technical foul. There were mixed views on it as many of our officials thought this was disconcertion and a violation. We were told to call a technical on this. I looked in the case book and all I can find on disconcertion is using the arms to distract the shooter. What about comments? Is this disconcertion or unsportsmanlike?

How about both?
If the comments were unsporting, such as "Miss you stupid muther****er!" then I have disconcertion and a T.
But under normal conditions, I would only have disconcertion.
