I've used this once on disconcertion in a ms AAU game. B1 walked to the top of the key and yelled just as A1 was attempting his free throw. Ball went in, and I warned the kid on the way down the court. He tried arguing with me about the rule. That's the only time I've ever warned a kid what he was doing was a violation.
Had a game one time where a girl would sneak down the sideline, below the FTL extended, during opponents' free throws. I never warned, I just waited for a miss. Took about three times before the shooter missed one.
