Is the consensus that you would have a warning, then a technical foul on the next violation? Given that you cannot force the shooter to make his shot and end the insanity, how many times would it have to occur before administering the warning?
For me, as soon as I realize they're doing it on purpose, I'm warning.

So, two scenarios.
1. Coach instructs players to do it and I hear him. I'm warning after the first one.
2. No instructions that I can hear from the coach, it may take me a couple of violations to recognize what's going on. I warn them as soon as I recognize it.

They only get one warning.
