This is pretty cool.. I have never had 4 replies to any of my posts before never mind 4 pages...

To get back to the basics though... What I stated in the initial post is exactly what w_sohl states below.

It was not the words "SHOT" or "BALL" but just a YELL (picture Charlie Brown when Lucy pulls the football away) as loud as can be while running in behind A1 after getting his a$$ burned on the play.

Here's is some things to ponder....

Would you punish a yell like this if it was directed at you after a foul call?? If so, why is it unsporting at that time??

Why don't we allow the non shooting team to yell at the free throw shooter??? Oh... that's right... there is a rule against that.. disconcertion.... What makes this different???

Look at my signature line that I quoted from mick... If this yelling causes A1 to do something in reaction to the yell that causes A1 to be at a disadvantage then we have to call it.... the question is what ??? Perhaps in this case a warning is fine, that's all I was trying to get at is what are the thoughts here... I like the discussion it has generated though.
