Depending upon what the defender does it is either disconcertion and therefore a violation, or it is unsportsmanlike conduct and therefore is a technical foul. The defender's actions cannot be deemed both.

Mark, I don't think that is right. Look again at the specific wording of the POE.
"The committee emphasizes that disconcertion
is a violation"
There is NO DOUBT that the disconcertion certainly IS a violation. No matter what.
In addition, the manner in which the disconcertion takes place could also be considered unsporting conduct.
"If persistent or deemed unsporting, the team/player may be penalized with a technical foul."
It sure looks like the committee is telling us that it CAN be both, if it is warranted.
