I believe that Play (2) is an unsportsmanlike technical foul.

The committee emphasizes that disconcertion is a violation(9-1-5) and may result in a substitute throw. IF PERSISTENT,OR DEEMED UNSPORTING,THE TEAM/PLAYER MAY BE PENALIZED WITH A TECHNICAL FOUL".
In less than 10 million words, Mark Sr. is correct in this case.

Huh? Mark said that yelling "box out" during a FT is a technical foul. But the POE that you just quoted says that "verbal outbursts" are disconcertion; and disconcertion is a violation. How does this make Mark correct? Nothing in Mark's play says that the outburst was persistent, nor was profanity mentioned (making the outburst itself unsportsmanlike).
So, in all honesty, JR, I think your post proves that Mark is
not correct. No T is warranted for yelling "BOX OUT" as the free thrower is about shoot.
