Jab by the defender on the jump shooter (non-contact)

[JCrow]

"This is the oldest, most ineffective defensive move in existence. I've been playing basketball for 40 years, and the I have yet to look at my groin while shooting."

I may NOT look at my groin while shooting....but I'm always cognizant of its happiness & safety!

I've never had anybody do that to me or seen it used in an game.

In a P/U game, I'm sue it would solicit a comment like,

"If you hit me with that, you'll be picking up teeth."

In an organized game that I was Reffing....I'd consider it "Baiting" an opponent into an obvious fighting situation and put an immediate stop to it with a "T". (My opinion.) This stupid technique doesn't belong in basketball and if the kid misses and whacks the shooter.....you have a fight.
If the Coach argued the No-Contact Theory, I'd reply,

"It's covered under the Loose Ball Rule."
