Feel better now?

Jurassic,

Are you always so positive when people don't see it the way you do?

First, Ronref, if you make a joke, use a :0 so we'll know. This is especially necessary when your "joke" can be read as your actual intent.interpretation/answer.

Second, can you have disconcertion if the shooter if the shooter never shoots the ball?

That's a great question, Tony. I actually wondered the same thing. But I think you can. I remember a situation when I was playing (50 or 60 years ago). I was on the line and a member of the other team lost his balance and fell flat on his face in the middle of the lane. Well, eveybody in the place started laughing, including me. If my coach hadn't screamed at me to shoot the ball, I might not have. If I hadn't shot the ball and been called for the 10-second violation, I think there still would've been a very good case there for disconcertion.

Disconcertion is when an opponent attempts to distract the shooter of a FT by movement or noise. Judgement call.

2.3 amounts to when you don't know what to do next do whatever comes to mind.

Actually it says the referee (not the umpires) can act on anything not covered in the rules, so you had better know the rules inside outside forwards and backwards if you want to correctly act under 2.3

Standing in the lane in front of the shooter is unsportsmanlike conduct, plain and simple. I would check to see if the player was having some kind of siezure. If not, we're shooting some extra free throws.

If this is deliberate, this is attempting to make a mockery of the game, and shouldn't be tolerated.

I doubt too many would actually count to 10 on this unless they were dying to call a simultaneous violation. I suspect most of you would say something to the player or the coach. I can only imagine what the player's coach would be howling all this time.

Must there be an attempt for it to be considered disconcertion??

Sorry, I didn't know about the :0 (Joke signal).
