I have also wondered in the past about the definition of "disconcert the free thrower." Most refs limit this to what goes on along the lane. As an example along the same lines as Devon's, we have a team that consistently begins clapping and stomping immediately prior to the release of the FT by the shooter. If fans do it, you clearly cannot penalize this conduct. But this is clearly organized, done by players not fans, and has caused more than one shooter to visibly flinch (and miss of course). Doesn't this fall under the rule, since both the intent and the result are disconcertion?
