The Little Rules Matter

A few years ago I (along with ~15 others) was kibitzing the end of a match in Michigan. Player A is on the bar (not anchored), and is going to lose the match if he doesn't hit. Player B has started the bearoff and has at least one open high point in his board (and no gaps). Player A not only doesn't shake his dice, but rolls them onto the board so weakly that they barely leave the dicecup. This goes on for multiple rolls. (Player B said nothing, nor even hesitated. Obviously kibitzers were required to keep quiet. I did not see a director present, and don't know if that would have mattered.)

Bad example for the kibitzers? What if I told you that BOTH of these players are on the current (2009) Giants list?
