Ballsandstrikes,

Let me preface my remarks by saying that I call more T's than most of my partners, I refuse to put up with crap from players, coaches, etc.

I cannot see a T on this one. I've said it before and I'll say it again...This is not golf. Noise is part of the game. If someone can distract you with an ear piercing scream, good for them. If you can't take it, bad for you. I cannot see how this is any different than yelling "Ball, ball, ball" or something similar. All of this tactics are meant to distract the opponent. While they are definitely annoying, I do not believe they are illegal.

I can also appreciate you wanting to prevent a problem from the player being screamed at, but I don't believe that that is enough justification for the call.
