So in sports, it is appropriate to scream in another player's face? Simple question. Yes or no?

The question is way too vague to answer.
Scream what?
What sport?
"Appropriate" how?
The answer to your question, though, it "yes" for the specific play described.

What? Anything other than swearing or taunting specifically, because those are covered elsewhere.
What sport? Any - I don't know of any that involve screaming in opponent's faces that woulnd't be considered unsportsmanlike.
"Appropriate" within the bounds of good sportsmanship.
Give me ONE example of any sport, other than the specific situation described, where it is within the bounds of sportsmanship to scream anything in an opponent's face from 2-3 inches away at the top of your lungs. (Again, leaving out taunting and language)
Dead horse or not... i still think (even though the rules don't support calling a foul in basketball) that that specific action is unsportsmanlike. A coach on here even stated that it was partially to distract the opponent and mess with their concentration.
