See Rule 10-3-7-a :
Commit an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to, acts of conduct such as:
a. Disrespectfully addressing or contact an official or gesturing in such a manner as to indicate resentment.
Now, slamming the ball or hitting the padding pursuant to a whistle can certainly fall under an unsporting gesture that indicates resentment. When this happens to me, the kicker for the T usually requires some verbalization to accompany the act which will determine if it was intended towards the official or self-directed.
