NO!! NO!! NO!! Whoever is coaching you to pass on this should receive a thousand lashes with a wet noodle. This is a foul on B1 everytime: NFHS, NCAA Men's and Women's, and FIBA.

Mark,
Perhaps you should look at the latest points of emphasis from FIBA - it quite specifically says that referees (especially at higher levels) need to concentrate on the flow of the game, and calling fouls according to advantage/disadvantage principles.
