Actually, the NFHS does prohibit cheerleaders from distracting (disconcerting) an opponent while shooting free throws. Most officials are unaware because it falls under the "spirit team" rules. Most places don't enforce it. Another area that we as officials have to be the experts on.

Personally, it sounds like a case of OOO to be concerned what the cheerleaders are doing. I'm more worried about getting the calls correct for the 10 guys in basketball uniforms on the floor. The ones in the short skirts are somebody elses worry AFAIC.

I don't think I'll be ever concerned about what's in the NFHS cheerleading rule book. I'm a basketball official.

Good For The Goose, Good For The Gander ...
Boys varsity game tonight. First half. Home cheerleaders were standing in two rows behind the endline and were swishing their pom poms (not cheering) during opponents free throws. I thought to my self, "That's kind of like a thread on the Forum". Second half. They were doing the same thing while their own players were shooting free throws. Unsporting? I think not.
