I tried this in a Jr High game once to no effect

It was pretty pathetic. I showed it to the kids in practice once and being 12-13 years old, they thought it was the greatest thing they'd ever seen on a basketball court. Then later in a game that wasn't even close, they begged and begged to run it, "just one time pleeeeeeeeeeze." I relented.

So they go in after a T.O. to run this play. As the official gives the ball to the inbounder, my player in front of the inbounder drops and starts barking. Nobody even seemed to notice! She had no effect what so ever! I don't know if they just thought she fell down to her hands & knees, or what, but it didn't work.

Or maybe they thought she was having a seizure and thought it was an ample opportunity to make a steal and take off on the break!
