About 7 or 8 years ago, I remember an Fed interpretation regarding yelling "BALL, BALL, BALL". It was deemed legal only while being closely guarded. I also remember our state extending this to the play described in OP. I agree it is not valid defense and has no place in the game.

Until the NFHS comes out with a play ruling that explicitly states that yelling at an opponent is acceptable, I'll read the rule and decide for myself whether the action comes under its purview, thanks. 4-19-14 . . . An unsporting foul is a noncontact technical foul which consists of unfair, unethical, dishonorable conduct or any behavior not in accordance with the spirit of fair play. |

![]() Yes, the rules do allow an individual official to label that an unsporting act and issue a "T" for it. Barring profanity, no, it sureasheck isn't the usual procedure or common practice to call it though- in my experience anyway. |

Have the stones to make the right call and not just the most popular call.

By the book T? This one isn't! Even if it's legitimate to "interpret" the act of yelling at the shooter as unsportsmanlike, that's an interp not a by the book T. Lots of leeway here not to call this. Not much leeway to call it. And "stones" aren't what's required to call this. Popularity isn't the point here. Following the rules is. Just because I want to call something even though it's legal, doesn't mean it takes intestinal fortitude to call it. THat's just plain .......... well, whatever..... |

I agree completely Rainmaker. I was trying to make the point that if an official goes looking for anything that could possibly be unsporting, they won't be moving up the chain any time soon. I suppose if it was yelled directly into an ear like an earlier post, I might bring the T, but otherwise I'm never even thinking about addressing this.

![]() Now that's much different from your first post in which you flatly stated, "No matter how unpleasant or unacceptable you may think it, it's not illegal," and "there's no rule book support of any kind." That was the point of my responding post. ![]() Notice that I did not say that I would call a T for this, I merely wrote that, in the absence of anything directly addressing it from the NFHS, I would interpret the rule and decide if it qualified as an unsporting foul. |

![]() And....personally I've never seen any area where the expected and accepted call is an unsporting "T": for plays like this. Of course, that sureasheck doesn't mean that there aren't any. Bottom line imo.....get some advice from your local pooh-bahs on how they want it called. |

Like I said if it's just a flat out scream at someone who's shooting an open lay-up, and you don't call something you will have as much explaining to do as I. Every idiotic thing that can happen isn't coverd in the rule book. I had it happen, and I have seen it happen (always girls). But to just let it go, and have a bunch of people screaming intermittenly at one another is just ridiculous. Call a T, don't call a T. But to say or do nothing for an act that has nothing to do with the game is short sided.

Very well put, I agree, something has to be done. We just can't ignore it (well some of you will).
