It is not
in the spirit and intent of the rules.
I also had a look at the NCAA rulebook and found this:
Rule 10. Fouls and penalties
"[...] Direct technical fouls include, but are not limited to,
infractions that are unsporting in nature, such as
acts of deceit, and disrespectful or vulgar remarks to officials or opponents."
FIBA also says:
38.1.2 Each team shall do its best to secure victory, but this must be done in the
spirit of sportsmanship and fair play.
38.1.3 Any deliberate or repeated non-cooperation or non-compliance with the spirit of this rule shall be considered as a
technical foul.
