No. While disconcerting is against the rules, it isn't unsporting. If it were, the NFHS penalty for it (even on a player) would be a T. Gesturing may be unsporting depend on the gesture...just as words may or may not be unsporting.

Unsporting contact from a follower would be calling an opponent things that are in any way inappropriate (racist, etc.), coming onto the court to interfere with play or object to a call (just examples, not an exhaustive list), throwing things onto the court, etc.
