However. The NFHS defines and gives examples of unsporting acts as baiting and/or taunting (among other acts).
Bait: To deliberately annoy or taut someone.
Taunt: A remark made in order to anger, wound, or provoke someone.
10-4-6-C: A player must not: Commit an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to, acts or conduct such as: Baiting or taunting an opponent.
This action may not reach the level of taunting, but it certainly can be considered baiting (annoying), and thus, unsporting.
