I can see some merit in that, i.e., acknowledging that her opponent has picked up the dribble.
But just screaming to be screaming? I've watched thousnads of basketball games, in person and on TV. I've never seen it done. It's not part of the game. I'll warn her and then T her up if she continues. And if the tournament director has a problem with it, he can send me home. I don't givea****.

I've got no problem giving her a T, but I'm not going to call it taunting or baiting. It's simply unsporting, IMO, at worst. It's coached as a distraction tactic, she's not baiting or taunting the opponent.
