NO, there is no actual "written rule" in the book regarding this behaviour. However 99% of all refs. will either give a warning or call a tech. foul if the defender purposefully yells out anything during a shot attempt; it comes down to etiquette and sportsmanship. Many refs. consider this "trash talk" and will hand out a tech. for this reason; besides it's just looks bad doing it.

Yes, if it is intentionally. Its okay if it get knocked out of your hands or just slip of your hands but if just intentionally throw it out of anger or some other reason then it could possibly be a technical or worse.

It depends. If you were to harrass the player then that would be a technical foul. But if you are just yelling shot as they are shooting, or ball ball then no it would not be a foul

There really is no rule on this. The only time you can really touch a player is when they are backing you down in the post (in which you can put one hand or arm on them) or when they have their pivot foot on the ground. Other than that, most touching of other players is considered a foul.

If I take a shot and the defender atempts to block and touches my hand before or after is this a foul My buddy seems to think your hands are counted as apart of the ball which I find strange?

According to the page found on the NBA website at http://www.nba.com/features/misunderstoodrules_051128.html "Incidental Contact: The mere fact that contact occurs does not mean a foul has been committed. Players are allowed to contact other players when reaching for a loose ball, or when performing normal offensive and defensive movements. The hand is considered " part of the ball" when it is in contact with the ball and contact with a players hand when it is in contact with the ball is not a foul." So, as far as the NBA is concerned, the hand is part of the ball when the ball is in the other player's hand. If the ball is not in the shooter's hand, a foul could be called. Most of the questions concerning this rule occur when the offensive player is driving the basket and attempting a slam dunk. On a jump shot, once the ball leaves the shooter's hand, the hand is no longer part of the ball and a foul could be called.

Why do basketballers wear sleeves?

Basketball players wear sleeves on the arm they shoot with so it stays warm. In addition it is an extension of the wrist sweat bands from the old days, keeping the sweat from running down their arm and onto their shooting hand. Keeping their shooting hand dry is important for feel on the ball when passing, dribbling and shooting.
