This is not a new phenomenon--Players have been doing this forever/probably more on the girls side than boys.

I thought I remembered something about this when they started changing rulesets here (ON).
In FIBA play, according to Statement 3 regarding the Technical Foul rule (Art. 38) in their Official Interpetations document (page 13, see link below), such behaviour is illegal and should be penalized with a TF if the attempt is unsuccesful, or with an official warning to the team if successful.

Still happy that most of my games use Fed.!
