Made it sound like I either had to T up or ignore. I honestly don't have a current NFHS book, nor do I officiate Association games (yet).

I have in fact awarded another free-throw for disconcertion, but have never T'd a player for it. Do my best to talk em out of trouble. If they get a T from me they usually had it coming 10mins ago.

The only way I'd give a T for disconcertion is if a player said something that in of itself would be unsportsmanlike, or if they kept repeating the violation one after another and thus was making a travesty of the game. This is similar to a team repeating free throw violations at the end of the game to ensure a made basket when the offense is trying to intentionally miss.

What JR was trying to say is if a player disconcerts, there is no warning and to call the violation (if applicable). Now if a player is close to disconcerting, or if the player makes the free throw, you can tell the play to knock it out.
