It can escalate,first it is a "raise the roof",then it is a throat slash,and before you know it they are pulling out sharpies and cell phones.
What the NF is trying to enforce is sportmanship and safety.A kid that dunks then plays to the crowd is likely to get nailed the next time he goes to the basket.There is nothing over officious about promoting proper conduct and
preventing retaliation.
