REPLY: Only a "little." Take a look at the penalty for intentional pass interference.
But Bob, the penalty listed for IPI only says to add an additional 15 yards from the succeeding spot. It makes no mention about unsportsmanlike conduct. I also remember having a discussion about this addition 15 yards and if we eject the player if he’d had a previous un-sportsmanlike. If I remember correctly the consensus was no. I believe the rational was although the enforcement of the additional 15 was treated like a UNS it couldn't be one because it was in fact a contact foul.
