I think discretion is the better part of valor and probably wouldn't call it an artifical noisemaker. Just an odd occurance. Usually, this gym is packed and loud so it was sort of odd to have THAT small a crowd.
I DID like the ringtone, but refrained from asking her who it was! |

I've NEVER had it more than once when calling disconcertion. However, a don't think a POE from 2001 is very specific instruction. If this is what the NFHS wants, then it needs to appear in the rule book or case book every year.

I've had this coming from the opposing coach, yelling "box out" on the first of two FTs. btw, the coach in question was also a rec official. Never worked with him before or since...

That coach knows exactly what he's doing. Just like players know exactly what they're doing when they conveniently tell each other who they have on defense while the shooter is about to shoot.

Warned 1, violation on another in same game...
B3 on the lane is holding his arms in the lane in front of himself,shaking his hands like he just washed them. (6 grade Boys Quad-A so Im pretty sure hand washing is out of the question lol.) Shooter makes basket so I have nothing, but since I'm L, before I give ball to shooter for second shot, I ask B3 if there is something wrong with his hands... Gives me the sheepish look, says "no they're good", and I briefly explain if he is shaking them for the sole purpose of distracting the shooter its called "disconcertion" and is just like a lane violation.
Problem solved. He knew what he was up to, and I had to laugh when he turns to the shooter and apologizes lol. Later at the other end, B is on the FT-line, and A3 on the lane waits till shooter starts his motion, then begins rapidly clapping his hands together in the lane while saying "la-la-la-lah" :> Shooter misses, I award another FT and explain it again to all present. Once again I get a good laugh, A1 and A2 are telling A3 "Yeah you can't do that, remember earlier down there? We can't """Discredit""" them while they are shooting." Refuse to do Wreck-Ball all you want, but its moments like this that keep you coming back for more. They learned a new rule, even if they can't pronounce it yet, and I got a couple of chuckles good enough to, momentarily, forget my aching right knee. Gotta love it.

Reverse Disconcertion?
Bounced the ball to the shooter tonight and in a whisper, the kid in the lane closest to him in a hushed tone, says, "I've got shooter."
I thought of you guys and this thread!? I gotta get a life!
