I think slamming the ball tends to incite the crowd, and maybe the player is upset with himself, but if a player misses a layup, and runs down court and drops a loud F-bomb, even if he was mad at himself, I'm sure you'd take some action.
It's a game distraction I feel needs to be dealt with. Also, If you don't penalize the first one, you better not penalize any other ones.
