Clapping Beind the Free Throw Shooter
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a violation to have someone from Team B claps his hands in attempt to get Team A to miss his free throw shot? Team B claps while Team A start his motion to shoot the free throw. Team B is located at the top of the three point line, just behind the Team A free throw shooter.

Violation? Yes/no?

If putting the arms up in the lane can be considered "disconcerting" then I would imagine clapping behind him, if deemed intentional, could also be disconcerting as well......Violation.

Yes. B1 or any opponent to include the bench personnel, cannot disconcert the free thrower.

Yes, disconcertion includes audible attempts.

I've seen it several times this season when coaches start to yell "who has the shooter" or "don't forget to box out" conveniently right as the opponent begins their shot.....

Could be, particularly if the shooter misses.
Could be unsporting. Have a word with "someone from Team B".

It's my opinion that it's called a FREE THROW for a reason. I think you would have a hard time selling the coach one unless he differs his tone or something. It's more common for players waving there arms in front of the shooter. It usually happens early in the game and can be nipped quick by telling the coachs.

Could be, but that's why we get paid the big bucks. If you deem it distracted the shooter, it's a violation. Remember, it's the opponent's responsibility to avoid disconcerting the free thrower.

Had an AAU boy earlier this month simply yell, "Shot!" right before the shot. Shooter made it, and I walked over to him and told him to knock it off.

Best way to handle it, I believe

I would have to agree

I usually tell the kid that if he does it again I'm going to stuff him in a wood chipper. :eek:

Believe me, that works.

Now THAT would be disconcerting!:rolleyes:

I originally read the thread title as "Crapping behind the FT shooter"

I'm pretty sure that would be frowned upon, too.

I started a post in early December about 'squeeking shoes' while A1 is attempting Free Throws. I called a disconcerting violation. There are many forms of disconcerting.
Pay close attention to B1 if they are standing behind Free Throw shooter A1. Sometimes they may be talking to the shooter. Kids are tricky.:D
