Can an official call a violation on the crowd (a band member blowing his trumpet)when a player missed the shot when shooting a free throw during a 1 and 1 and allowing him to shot again?
The rule book states:
Music/ Sound Effects / Artificial noisemakers (1-18)
While most state associations specifically address this issue, to ensure consistency and in the interest of fairness, the prohibition regarding music and artificial noisemakers now exists. With the intrusive and disruptive nature of audio packages which exist with many new scoreboards and through public address systems capable of playing varied sound effects, this prohibition will result in schools and game officials being able to consistently control what occurs during a game.
The prohibition against artificial noisemakers, including buit not limited to, megaphones, cowbells, sirens, 'clackers', cans with marbles or rocks inside, and varied other creative, albeit cacophonic, devices provides additional rules support for an increasingly serious problem.
Home or game management is responsible for
enforcement.
Where in this rule does it state that the shooter should reshoot? Should the official give a warning to the home coach about the noise and have the PA announcer advise the crowd against the problem?
