As I understand it, no Swedish word has repeated vowels (SAAB is an acronym).

Just Finnish and Dutch

...there is no rule that prohibits a player from "screaming" or "yelling" during the scenarios (try for goal) cited in this thread. It may be annoying, but it is not illegal.

This is not a new phenomenon--Players have been doing this forever/probably more on the girls side than boys.

I thought I remembered something about this when they started changing rulesets here (ON).

In FIBA play, according to Statement 3 regarding the Technical Foul rule (Art. 38) in their Official Interpetations document (page 13, see link below), such behaviour is illegal and should be penalized with a TF if the attempt is unsuccesful, or with an official warning to the team if successful.

Still happy that most of my games use Fed.!

FYI, I am not in the practice of "making up my own rules." I mis-applied the free throw disconcertion rule. Honest mistake. In the future, I will allow this annoying behavior as it is not against the rules...
