Disconcerting

[The_Rookie]

Had a coach moan a couple of times in a game on Thursday when his guy had the ball shooting free throws, the opp on the lane were communicating to each other "I got Shooter".

He was asking for a disconcert call... (I called nothing)


You say what on this?

Thanks and Merry Xmas!

If I feel it needs to be address, then on the next free throw, before I bounce the ball to the shooter, I say Hands up or Hands down. No talking when the shooter has the ball.
I also hate when the coach of the non-shooting team yells "Rebound" when it is the 1st throw of a multiple free throw attempt.

It really depends on the situation. I would watch when they say those things. Are they waiting until the shooter is about to shoot or when they are clearly going through their routine. But as said if you have a problem with it or think it is suspect, tell the players to "knock it off" before the shooter gets the ball.

Peace

If something disconcerts the shooter, then, by all means, call a disconcertion violation.

As Rut noted, if they're saying it just as the shooter is about to shoot, tell them to knock it off. If they do it after that, ding 'em.

Get read to administer the FT. Stop. Pause for effect. Pointedly ask the defnese -- "Everybody know who's got the shooter?" When they respond in the affirmative, add "Good -- then there's no need to disconcert" -- yes, use that word.

They'll get the message, or else they'll hear the whistle.

Unless the free throw is successful.

Do you think he was doing it to disconcert the shooter? If so, I would address it with the kid. Just tell him to stop talking once the shooter has the ball. This hopefully helps the game and also shows the coach you will listen.

I do think if you call this it has to be obvious to everyone in the gym.

He doesn't have to attempt to disconcert in order to actually do it, and I disagree that it has to be obvious to everyone. Too many don't know this rule to worry about it, and the players can often do this in a way that's just loud enough to be heard on the court.

Agreed... the situation I see is that you bounce the ball to the shooter and at the last minute, one of the defensive players sticks their hands up. Usually, by addressing this it ends further activity.

Yep, when it's obvious to me that they're disconcerting, I might address it is bob suggests. Or, I might just call the violation; depends on how much trouble they've been giving me during the game.

Has anyone ever heard of or called disconcertion on the opponent's bench?
