If they continue to do it after being warned, I'm "T"ing 'em up in a hearbeat for unsporting behavior. If you don't, there's no use of warning them in the first place. I won't let them make a farce out of the game with repeated violations. And I've got very specific instructions from the NFHS to back me up. From the 2001-02 rule book:
POE #2 Disconcertion During Free Throw:
"The committe emphasizes that disconcertion is a violation and may result in a substitute throw. If persistent or deemed unsporting, the team/player may be penalized with a technical foul.

Okay, I can live with that. But posters are saying they're going to assess a T the second time it happens. I don't buy that.
I've NEVER had it more than once when calling disconcertion.
However, a don't think a POE from 2001 is very specific instruction. If this is what the NFHS wants, then it needs to appear in the rule book or case book every year.
