I disagree that disconcertion doesnt happen very often. I think it is getting worse.
Here are examples:
Kids wiggling fingers at the line.or waving hands at line.
yelling "I got the shooter", while the shooter is in motion.
dropping arms.
raising arms.
(personally I'd like to see the NBA rule of only having five line up, and that they cant even raise their arms except on the last throw of a multiple.)
Do I call disconcertion very often? No generally unless it is pretty blatant. I step in and tell them to knock it off, and it generally stops.
There's a reason that there are POE's, and sometimes coaches do get their way but I also think that we as officials look at POE sometimes and say "that's dumb" and dont enforce them. I think many of them we can enforce quietly or in a low key manner. POEs many time are because we dont have enough guts to enforce rules. We need to use common sense as well, so there is a balance, but if we are calling a rule, and the coach doesnt like it have the coach take it up with the governing body or the Federation and get the rule changed.
