I've seen it done here for years by just about every team on the high school level and I've never seen any sort of actual taunting occur during this pre-game lap. And I couldn't find any prohibition to it in the rule book or case book.
Any stated prohibition ever given to this practice?

You guys must be newer officials.

Bob is 100% correct. So check with your state association.
