Reminds me of the defender trailing an opponent about to make an easy layup yelling, "Miss", or something else, loudly at the shooter. Or, especially in a girls game, a defender yelling, "Dead, dead, dead ...", at a player who has picked up her dribble, just to rattle her chain. If you've officiated long enough then you've observed these situations. In thirty-two years, I've never seen an official call anything in those situations. Maybe it's not "right", but it seems to be considered a barely legal part to the game, at least here in my little corner of Connecticut.
