Unsporting Foul Enforcement

free-throw. B1’s replacement may not enter the game until after A1’s first free
throw. B1, disgusted with the official’s call and realizing he/she will soon leave the
game, goes and sits on the end of Team B’s bench just after the official reports
the foul. RULING: B1 is assessed an unsporting technical foul for leaving the
court for an unauthorized reason to demonstrate disgust. A1 will attempt the two
shooting-foul free throws followed by any Team A member attempting the two
free throws for the technical foul.

I've highlighted the key portion that aligns with the wording of the rule. Based on the wording of the rule and the case play, the disgust is a requirement for proper enforcement. If your local and/or state authorities say different, so be it. I'll be checking with mine as well, but in the mean time, I would say the disgust would have to be obvious before I'd pull the Trigger.
