Jeffpea, I don't think those actions are at all the same. I can see someone faking an attempt to steal (not a "reach in"). An attempt at a block or a trap/double team are all legal actions. I don't see the correlation at all.
Also, some seem to describe a reaching-out-and-gently-touching the shooter type of action.
The action I'm talking about is someone snapping there wrist, faking a back-handed type slap into an opponents groin. I see it very differently. I don't think I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill or using WMD's. I think it's unsporting conduct.
If you (in general - not Jeffpea specifically) are someone who says, "That's nothing, in my opinion." That's the way you see it and that's fine.
If, however, you (again general) are someone who says, "I'd warn them for that." I'm asking what you call if the action continues. They have to be doing something illegal if you're warning them. You can't (justifiably) warn them just because you don't like it. In my opinion, I'd warn them because I think it's unsporting.
