For the most part, I'm in the "don't go looking for stuff" camp. But if you've got a player literally nose to nose with another player when it's obvious to everyone in the gym that the intent is not to play basketball defense as much as to play psychological offense, I don't think we can ignore it.
My point is that is a stretch to assume that is an intimidation tactic.

I would not ignore it because it is a competitive match-up. That does not mean I would call a T.

The problem I have with that statement is that is a big assumption.
