I have no problem with emotion, but I do have a problem with taunting and unsportsmanlike behavior directed at an opponent, especially one on the ground. The blocked shot itself did all the talking, no reason to risk costing your team two points.

Well not all officials have the same judgment or feeling about these things. And if you work that level you might have a different position as your judgment will be questioned more. And for all you know, they could have said something to the player or the coach. There were no problems in the game after that moment.
