Make 'em stop. If they want to raise their arms to get ready for the rebound, fine. Wiggling does not help their rebounding. It's strictly for the shooter's distraction.
No, no Chuck. Where's that famous chick-empathy thing of yours? the wiggling fingers is to sprinkle good luck on their team mates, and bad luck on their opponents. Just in general. Nothing to do with the shooting of the free throws. It's an extension of the cheerleaders who do it to sprinkle "good thoughts".
