Picking battles

Good job, reffish. You properly enforced the rule.

Doesn't matter if he hasn't seen it done in 35 years of coaching.

There are several officials who would never call this either, but that doesn't make them right. It just means that they choose not to bother with it.

If you believe that what the coach is doing is distracting to the opposing FT shooter, then you are correct to call a violation for disconcertion. If it is persistent or unsporting, then you are correct to also charge a technical foul to the offending coach.
