DOG Warning Question

[McMac]

The other night, MS Boys game, White after every free-throw attempt (made or missed), the players on the lane and those outside will come up and contact the free-thrower. When I officiated in Florida, we were told to give the DOG warning and then T if it continued. Now that I have moved to SC, I have had officials tell me not to call this.

Heeding their advice ("When in Rome...") I have refrained from calling it because most teams have not been doing it or have been talked out of continuing it during a game. But this team was delaying us administering the subsequent FTs every time because the other 4 players just had to go up and give the shooter some skin. I had told them at least twice to knock it off. So finally in the third quarter, I call the DOG for contacting the free-thrower between FTs per 4-47-2 and 10-1-5d. Coach asked what it was for, and I told him that his players were delaying us administering FTs. So we go a few minutes before another shooting foul and they go again and all high five/pat the free-thrower. I call the T on it and coach is not happy. I told him again, it is considered a delay and this is the second DOG of the game.

What would any of you do differently here? I know that I did what is right by the book, but something inside does not feel right.
