My GRAMMA was always perfect.

She made the best Christmas cookies, too.

This is not a defensive act. Saying "HEY" is way different than just screaming at someone. No sane person is going to argue that screaming is a good defensive tactic. If it happens during the shoot I thing a T would nip it in the bud from happening again. If not during a shoot, a visit with the coach should clear it up. There is no doubt the act itself is unsportsmanlike.

We've discussed this before. No matter how unpleasant or unacceptable you may think it, it's not illegal. If you call an unsporting T, you'd better have a jolly good explanation, because there's no rule book support of any kind. I suppose if it's close enough to the ear that it might cause damage, you'd be justified. Otherwise, ya gotta let it go, and lobby the rules committee to get your way.

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.

I don't remember ever seeing an interp saying anything like that. Are you sure? Usually, if the FED issues one, they'll put it in the case book the next year.

Who decided that this is not illegal? There certainly is rules book support for a technical foul here if the official deems this to be an unsporting foul.
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.

I agree it should be a technical foul if the gym is quiet and the defensive player screams and all can hear it I would go ahead and whack the player. Hopefully there is some type of cheering going on in the gym (covering up the scream somewhat) and I can possibly get to that player after the play and let them know that it will not be tolerated.

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

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.

As I said before, not in my area. You would have a heckuva lot more explaining to do if you did call a "T". It would certainly slow down your advancement up the ladder too.

I'd check with my peers/asssignor/evaluator on that one, if I were you. Jmo fwiw.
