Disconcertion

I do not care what a particular local officals association says. The only important ruling is what is correct under NFHS Rules. Depending upon what the defender does it is either disconcertion and therefore a violation, or it is unsportsmanlike conduct and therefore is a technical foul. The defender's actions cannot be deemed both.

Easy for you to say, Mark. Not so easy for those of us who may work under associations that want this called like that. Perhaps they have had problems with this and want it dealt with swiftly and severely to stop it.
Personally, I see a violation, but I agree with Smitty. There's nothing that says it can't be a technical foul and a violation.
What happens if B6 comes strolling onto the court and you don't catch it until he steps into a lane space. You signal for a delayed violation just as your brain realizes he was never beckoned in.
I've got both there, too. You?
