RULE 9 VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES
SECTION 1 FREE-THROW PROVISIONS
A player shall not violate the following provisions governing free throws:
ART.5...No opponent shall disconcert the free thrower.
...you are probably kidding, right?...since a 7th grade "person" in the stands, is not an 8th grade "player" violating free throw provisions.

If mick wants to ask game management to have the fans mellow out...that's fine...but, I don't think you can use your quoted rule to back it up.
