A common scenario that I have observed regarding disconcertion of the FT'er is this ( A1 is the FT shooter, B1 is occupying the lane space nearest to A1):
A1 is preparing to shoot the FT, then A1 starts to yak at B1 while A1 is preparing (going thru the normal pre-shot ritual with the ball) to shoot the FT--saying things like "you can't keep up with me", "stop fouling me", or "you my lunch". Then B1 in reply yaks back at A1 saying something like "you lucky the ref bailed you out cos I smacked your shot" or "you could never make a FT".
In my view this was what I'd call "invited disconcertion" that was precipitated by A1's verbal remarks to B1. I do not penalize B1 for this, I rather just tell them both to "knock it off". A1 does not get a substitute FT if shot missed.
Alternatively, I have seen B1, B2 perform a dramatic sneeze sound when A1 is preparing to do the FT's. In this latter case, I have enough common sense to know that B1, B2 are conducting pre-meditated disconcertions. If FT was missed I award a substitute FT to A1.
