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.

The FED issued a ruling about 3/4 years ago that said that you definitely could call disconcertion on the bench.

I don't think that's what we concluded, rainmaker.

Agreed. Rule states "No opponent shall disconcert the free thrower." An opponent is any participant of the opposing team.

Okay, I'd rather have it this way anyway. Why do I not remember something which turned out the way I want it!?!?
