Rule Reference Please

Funny you should mention that... I was doing a sixth-grade boys game this weekend, and the young man defending the inbound pass really DID dance a jig.

I'm sure I'll fail to describe this well, but.... He had been raising one arm, lowering the other, then alternating. This appeared to amuse him so much that he started raising his foot on the same side as the raised arm (and, of course, alternating feet). This was so much fun that he began to add a little hop with the other foot.

I know what some of you will say - taunting... whack! But really, you had to see this kid's face. He had this big goofy grin - I don't think he was even looking at the inbounder once he got going. If you ever saw the movie "Billy Madison," imagine him defending an inbound pass....
