Before I became a ref I didn't even know this rule existed. Only once have I seen it called. It was during one of my son's games, and, the coach whose team it was called against came completely unglued!! Last Thursday, the game was tied (under 3 minutes, see-saw match, great game). The first of a 1 in 1 and, as A1 gets ready to release, B1, to his immediate right in the lane, yells, "BOX OUT!" He had plenty of time to remind his guys to box out prior to the exact moment A1 was shooting. And, he didn't whisper it, but it wasn't quite a primal yell either. We did not call disconcerting violation, no coach complained. My question is: do any of you call this, and, under what circumstances? Just how egregious does the disconcert have to be (especially when it is in a tight game, like this one).
