Fear has nothing to do with this situation. It has to do with common sense. And it does not display much common sense for calling a T for this. I would have the same reaction if I heard someone gave a T and I do not assign a single game from others if I do not work for one guy anymore. But yelling at a player is has not even been considered unsportsmanlike while the player is shooting. I have never seen such interpretation to support such an action. Of course you could go there (based on the rules you referenced), but if you played any basketball in your life, people use their voice from time to time. And yes, they yell at the shooter some time. Next thing you are going to tell me a player cannot yell out anything to their teammates.
