1. None that wouldn't be deemed unsportsmanlike.
2. Legitimately: no one.
Simply yelling at opposing players is not, in and of itself, against the rules.
Opposing players try to confuse opposing players all the time, especially in adult slow pitch. I think the resulting point of the discussion is that the behavior described is unacceptable because it's
immitation of an umpire designed to confuse an opposing player - not simply because it's an act designed to confuse an opposing player.
