T. No questions. If he wants to argue a call, there are 402 better ways to do it than that.

The one team even started making little jab comments during free throws.

This you address the first time it happens. Maybe the first time you use disconcertion of the free thrower as an excuse and reshoot the throw, but you step in and make it known this action will not continue to be acceptable. Warning made, then you can assess penalties if it continues.

Best of luck!
