Coach, creating anxiety for the thrower is not a valid reason for doing this, either. In the end, your "intent" really doesn't matter as it always will come across like you're trying to influence the officials.
Do you have your defenders count for closely guarded? What about backcourt? How about free throws and three seconds?
I am curious as to what level of ball you coach; more specifically and on point, what level of ball are the officials letting you get away with this garbage?
