I recall doing a college game where the RUNNER on first base, after the pitcher came set and was just breaking to pitch, would bluff stealing but would yell, "HE'S GOING", trying to break the pitcher's concentration on the pitch. It was evidently ineffective, because the team tried it for one season and I've never seen it since. Nobody complained, so the umpires weren't put on the "do something about it" hotseat. Odds are in a college situation nobody WOULD have complained - someone would have been "buzzed" to send the message that what they were doing wasn't in the spirit of the game at that level. That coach is habitually in the CWS.
