Couldn't agree with you more. This is my pet hate when refereeing.
As my high school coach used to say - players that do this are too dumb/lazy/bad to be able to play real defense.
Thankfully this was put into the FIBA POE in 2004. It instructs referees to issue a warning if they determine that it had no effect on the shooter - subsequent occurances are to be called a tech foul.
