Therefore this would be an area not specifically coverd in ther rule book that the referee is allowed to rule on...

Your soccer analogy fails for one reason: it is NOT accpeted as part of playing soccer, and everyone knows it, and everyone knows it will warrant a yellow. In BB, however, whether we like it or not, and whether we think it should be deemed sporting or not, it is an accepted part of the game. A crusade like this is unfair to players who get a T for something that is regular, habitual, and tolerated in the game. Campaign for a rule, sure; go on a solo crusade, no.
