Screaming at Shooter

Personally, I like the FIBA approach to this.

I forgot to point out that this situation is not covered anywhere in the FIBA Rulebook.

So it is an interpretation not from the Rulesbook? Aside from the interpretation, do you see it called?

How does an interpretation not come from a rule?

It comes from 38.1.2: "Each team shall do its best to secure victory, but this must be done in the spirit of sportsmanship and fair play."
They however issued the interpretation to make it clearer.

And yes, I see this called. Actually, people will complain if you don't...

So, it is not explicitly illegal by the book, but the interpretation makes clear it is, since it is not an act within "the spirit of sportsmanship".
