mutantducky: I just want to make sure that you are familiar with the NFHS rule regarding distractions (i.e., clapping) during a free throw. The last part of your post leads me to believe that you believe that it might be penalized with a technical foul. Although an unsporting technical foul is a possibility under certain, rare, circumstances, most high school officials would first go to a simple disconcertion violation, and then, if that didn't seem to get everyone's attention, go to the technical foul "nuclear" option.
