I had a girls game tonight in Michigan. Girl 3 times during game let out a mariah Carey scream right in the shooters ear as she was shooting. The third time she did it I T'd her up sighting unsportsmanlike conduct AND stupidity to the coach when questioned. I explained to the coach that yelling "shot" or "ball" is part of basketball but letting out ear piercing squeels is not.
in 9 years this was only the 5th player tech I have handed out. I have lots of patience. Should I have had more here?
p.s. this was a VERY physical close game which also entered my mind because had someone screamed like that in my ear my first reaction may have been to turn around with an elbow. I wanted to prevent that.

I don't know that rule.
Is it a local thing?
