I have been searching high and low in a rule book for a rule preventing a team from doing this. The ref gave a warning and said that we could be called for unsportsmanlike or disconsertion. I've read about disconcertion and have only seen explanations that relate to free throws. Please help me out.

Here's some free advice: Your intent here is obvious and is all around a bad idea. Stop trying to find ways to influence the game through underhanded, disingenuous techniques and start teaching your kids how to play better basketball and be better human beings.
