B3 on the lane is holding his arms in the lane in front of himself,shaking his hands like he just washed them. (6 grade Boys Quad-A so Im pretty sure hand washing is out of the question lol.) Shooter makes basket so I have nothing, but since I'm L, before I give ball to shooter for second shot, I ask B3 if there is something wrong with his hands... Gives me the sheepish look, says "no they're good", and I briefly explain if he is shaking them for the sole purpose of distracting the shooter its called "disconcertion" and is just like a lane violation.
Problem solved. He knew what he was up to, and I had to laugh when he turns to the shooter and apologizes lol.
Later at the other end, B is on the FT-line, and A3 on the lane waits till shooter starts his motion, then begins rapidly clapping his hands together in the lane while saying "la-la-la-lah" :> Shooter misses, I award another FT and explain it again to all present. Once again I get a good laugh, A1 and A2 are telling A3 "Yeah you can't do that, remember earlier down there? We can't """Discredit""" them while they are shooting."
Refuse to do Wreck-Ball all you want, but its moments like this that keep you coming back for more. They learned a new rule, even if they can't pronounce it yet, and I got a couple of chuckles good enough to, momentarily, forget my aching right knee. Gotta love it.
