There you go again, unequivocally stating that this action is not illegal. That is what I objected to earlier. What you have written is simply not true. It is up to the discretion of the official working that particular game to determine the legality of this type of action. There is not a single official on this forum who can authoritatively tell you that screaming at an opposing shooter is a legal play. The most anyone who is not an NFHS rules committee member or an official state interpreter can do is say how he/she personally interprets it or how he/she recommends this play be called.
The bottom line is that this is a judgment call.
Interesting to see how FIBA judges this act.
