Question Player Unties Another's Shoe During FT
JR Smith Unties Shawn Marion's Shoe During Dirk FT - YouTube



If you see this as it's happening, you got anything? Would you blow your whistle? Stern talking to? Unsporting T?

WHACK...!!! (Probably...I hate answers that are absolute)

However, if I saw something that leads me to believe it was more harmless...such as a prank between two players that know each other (maybe they play on a "club" team together), then I might only give a stern warning. This would be due to the potential for delay of game or possible disconcertion of the shooter. But probably...WHACK...!!!

Contact with the shoe laces? Go for it, I'm calling a T.

+1, unsportsmanlike behavior.

It's only a T if the player's mother comes out of the stands and unties his opponent's shoe.

(Actions take place during a live ball.)
What would you call if a player pulled the hair of an opponent? How about untucked his jersey? Would you deem an OOB violation if the hair or shoelace of a player contacted a boundary line?

In regards to OOB, yes.

Also, untying an opponent's shoe is not a T in my opinion.

To me...it's a form of taunting. I would place this type of action along side stepping over an opponent that's on the ground. Yes...these actions are not always illegal. But in this specific instance the action is intentional physical contact by a player that is designed to provoke a response from an opponent. It is inappropriate and has nothing to do with the game of basketball.

WHACKABILITY FACTOR = 9 (out of 10...in my opinion) if deemed unsporting.

Even I give you more credit than this question.
