Does the disconcertion rule apply to bench personnel from the opposing team?

We've talked about this in the past, and I think we concluded that by the book, it doesn't, but in reality it might, but to weigh the situation carefully. If the shooter is clearly discombobulated by something, give the replacement shot. But just because they make noise, you don't automatically stop them. For me, it depends on the level of play. At freshman girls' or below, I'm pretty strict about it. Above that, you just have to judge by the results.
