 Distraction is fine (ball ball ball), deception of this sort is not part of basketball.  It's not gamesmanship.  It's bush league, and it's unsporting.
 
 It's one thing if the student section is doing it (then it's just bush league), but when the team does it, it's unsporting.
 
 In the case of a live ball count, it's either an attempt to influence a call, show up an official, or deceive the offense.
