Is it within the rules to call a violation on a coach for disconcertion? 9-1-5 states, "No opponent shall disconcert the free thrower." How are we to interpret opponent? I didn't spend hours with the rule book, but I looked for a little while and even did a little searching with the ARS disk, and I only found "opponent" referring to a player on the court. Could it be that by rule our only recourse is an unsporting technical?

It's in an old POE - about 4/5 years ago-in the 2001/02 rule book iirw. Disconcertion does apply to the bench and anyone on it, and if you deem it unsporting at the same time you can call a "T" for it also.
Thank you, J.R.
