Non-releasable
It's either a slashing call or Unsportsmanlike. If it's slashing it's releasable...if it's USC it then it is non-releasable. It is the official's judgement as to length of time for the foul.
With the added weight of the USC (two and done, plus the next game), unless there was some other extenuating circumstance, you might want to consider adding time to the slahing call by making it a 2 or 3 minute penalty. It will have the desired effect with the player and the coach. If the same kind of deliberate activity were to repeat, you can then move to an Unsportsmanlike Conduct call, again assessing 1 to 3 minutes based on judgement.
Just my two cents.
