Are we really discussing someone getting down on their hands and knees and barking like a dog? I don't consider this an act of deceit, rather it is an act of foolishness. An act of deceit would be, as someone mentioned, pretending to faint on the court or feining a serious injury, not barking like a dog. If this ridiculous tactic actually works more power to the team that pulls it off, but in effect, the "barking dog" reduces your squad's effectiveness by a player.

Would I T this? Doubtful, unless I deemed that the act was demeaning to the other team in some way, in which case the T may be flagrant. The difference between faking an injury and acting like an idiot is huge, especially given the fact that several players over the last few years have died on the court and it's a serious matter. I think we are being bored and even over officious with this interpretation.
