I realize it isn't in the book that he can't stand there, but if you know his sole purpose is to intimidate the shooter, then how is that not an unsporting act? And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying give him a T, I'm saying you need to move him diplomatically if possible. If you're the trail, call him over and have a pointless conversation or SOMETHING to get him to move. This isn't in the rule book, it's just good game management to prevent another possible bad scenario after one that has already occurred.

Short of saying something...how is standing 6 feet behind a player going to intimidate anyone? Are you trying to imply that one's mere presence...standing behind someone and not doing anything...is somehow unsporting?
