Youth league/ Fed rules, 7 seconds left in 4th quarter, A's ball at midfield (game just got tied 14-14). after a TO A1 drops to pass, decides to run. After 3-4 yards B1 strips the ball from A1, while already heading in thier direction.
He is 10 yards in front of everyone at about the 20 when the horn goes off and B1 goes into the endzone the last 20 yards pumping his fist (of both arms) and long stepping (in obvious taunting behavior). I reluctantely throw the flag for the USC. For this forums purpose what do we got and how would you handle this situation (which is very often administered as dead ball fouls)?
In the game at hand there was actually another personal foul on the return team after someone was hit OOB at about the 35 (so that made the penalty administration a lot easier {30 yards from the spot}) So again for this forums sake lets just say that the Celebration USC was the only foul

Objectionable Conduct can be applied on the next play. In this case, the choce is on the try or the ensuing kick-off.
If they choose to apply the penalty on the try, the game will be over after the try is over, and B will win whether the try is good or not - there is no ensuing kick-off.
Even though it is the last play of the game, A can choose to apply the penalty on the kick-off, thus
inducing a kick-off that wouldn't normally be there. This is A's best option, as it gives them a fighting (albeit small) chance to win or tie.
