I would consider it unsporting, just as I would if the player grabbed the dead ball and punted it clear across the gym. It might fit the DOG case but IMO, it also fits the player technical foul rule (unsporting).
I think a lot of it comes down to when you think the ball is live and the extent of the act.
See case 6.1.2 sit B for some wording that somewhat describes an official's action in this/these types of scenarios after a goal.

Makes sense. Ignore the caseplay that addresses this almost exactly... and rule differently because a nearby door happened to be open.
