Whereas 'shout' or 'holler' can be used in a neutral way, differently from 'jeer' which only carries a negative connotation, and might be suitable

The rest of the team looked on as yet another goal was missed, they got to their feet and shouted at their team members on the court/field, a huge, disappointed "C'mon!!".

The expression 'hoot and holler' already conveys the idea of shouting in disapproval. As per The Free Dictionary (https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/hoot+and+hollerThe Free Dictionary):

to shout in disapproval; to call and shout one's displeasure

Here an example from "Too Strong to Be Broken: The Life of Edward J. Driving Hawk" (https"Too Strong to Be Broken://books.google The Life of Edward J.ie/books?id=dDLtDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA57&lpg=PA57&dq=%22hoot+and+holler%22+football&source=bl&ots=ia3glihFQT&sig=ACfU3U3B4q5qCn3SpPqdU_Q5BCS7Ar2wIg&hl=it&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjPho-19PXtAhUXShUIHVZ2Ay04HhDoATAGegQIBRAC#v=onepage&q=%22hoot%20and%20holler%22%20football&f=false Driving Hawk")

It was a do or die game - the commander sat on the end of the bench - and he would hoot and holler at the coach when the team made mistakes. We lost more games than we won [...].

it might be worth noting that the same expression can be found to describe the cheering after a mistake of one's opponent and "a hoot and a holler" has a totally different meaning (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/a_hoot_and_a_hollerWikitionary  , or in slang slang—https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=A%20hoot%20and%20a%20hollerUrban Dictionary).
