No opponent shall disconcert the free thrower.

The official must judge whether the act distracts the free thrower. If the official judges the act in to be disconcerting, it shall be penalized. The free thrower is entitled to protection from being distracted. It is the opponent’s responsibility to avoid disconcerting the free thrower. (9-1-3c Penalty 2)

Good citation, Billy. Here you have a situation where an entire bench stands and shouts at an opponent while she's attempting what apparently is a critical free throw. (Why would they do it if it weren't critical?) You have rules backing there as well. 10-5-1d and 10-5-4.
