Question

Can not communicate w/ other pool players while playing, why cant I?

Answer 1

they are scared

Answer 2

If you are playing with your friends and buddies, it's no big deal.

However, if you are playing league pool it's against the rules. If you are at the table, you can only interrupt the game when asking for a coach. Or, your coach may interrupt the game to coach you.

There can be no communication with other players when it's your shot other than that. If your opponent is at the table you may converse with your teammates. But once that player misses, you have to approach the table and stop all talking.

If you are referring to talking to your opponent, that's a no-no, also. Could be construed as "sharking".

We have a rule in our league that if a player is shooting the "8" ball and his/her opponent says something to them, the game is over. He doesn't have to shoot the shot. The best thing to do is remain quiet. You'd be surprised how many "8" balls are missed when it looks too easy.

Answer 3

You'll break their concentration!

Answer 4

.What you want to do hassel them????  your doing OK. Talk after the game not while their shooting  .
