Let me just add food for thought from the players perspective. If you are a short, slow player like I was in my college days, you have to find defensive plays that allow you to compete with taller, quicker players. I used this technique often as a college player and found it to be very effective. I personally don't see this as different from any other defensive play which serves to distract the shooter. An attempted block is distracting but if no contact is made, it is certainly not a foul. Let this one go for all the other short, slow players of the world! I am not calling a "T".
