Any Rule Against This Lame Tactic?
See it with younger kids--a late defender has no play on a shot so s/he claps his/her hands and yells in the ear of the shooter.

Anything wrong with this from a rules standpoint? (NFHS)

Polar opposites. Anyone care to expound? Let the games begin. This is going to be good.

Someone just yelling is a Technical foul? Where does it say that anywhere? So if a defender says "Shot" and claps their hands we are going to give the player a T? That happens in about every game at least once and I have not ever seen a T for such action. Again when in Rome......

Peace

I suppose if it really bothered you, you could tell him to knock it off.

Unless the player is actually saying something unsporting, play on.

Well you are going to be more descriptive. You said "yelling." Now if you have some specific words maybe that will change my judgment on this. Also not sure I have ever seen a player get close enough to yell in the ear of a shooter where they are so close.

ART. 14 . . . An unsporting foul is a noncontact technical foul which consists
of unfair, unethical, dishonorable conduct or any behavior not in accordance with
the spirit of fair play.

If the official judges that the yelling meets this definition, then there is clear rules support for assessing a technical foul.

Sure, you can. But the question of whether you should is a different one altogether. Check local listings.

POE #1 Rules Enforcement
POE #2 Sporting Behavior

So if one believe that the action constitutes unsporting behavior, why would one not make the call? Is there a fear of what someone else thinks?

A cranky, old poster would say that anyone who officiates that way might as well shove the whistle up his backside.

Yes, the assignor. And the question of why I would be the only person calling such a thing for a player yelling.
