Hands Up or Hands Down?

Disconcertion is a judgement call and in my judgement, I have a hard time seeing how someone waving their fingers is disconcertion at all.

APG:

Since you believe that only getting "in the shooter's face" is hindering the shooter, then it must be okay for the defensive players to yell "miss it, miss it, miss it" while the shooter is attempting his free throw.

That's not what he said. He said there's a difference between hindering and disconcerting. The rule prohibits both but they are not synonymous.
