Marv Levy's "overofficious jerk" would apply here, methinks. Not to the official making the call, but to the whole concept. I mean, come on.

Not when the rule is so specific and outlaws a very specific act. The officials did not make up a situation and then decide it fit a vague rule. This rule is so specific that if they did not call this unsportsmanlike, someone would have accused the Pac-10 officials of favoring their conference team. Remember the Oklahoma-Oregon game a few years back?
