Disconcerting acts or words

"Acts" as opposed to "words" has to mean something.

Maybe and maybe not. In a Frosh game a couple weeks ago, I was in my normal position at ump. One of the LBs on home team would occasionally change his D call with a loud yell of 'right' or 'left'. Coach of visitors felt it was a disconcerting act and asked for a flag on 3 occasions. He thought the intent was to alter the cadence, so the words didn't matter, but the act of calling the D was the disconcerting act. It sure didn't seem intentional, and I watched carefully, but in the few plays that it happened, none of them matched up with cadence so I never had a problem with it.
