Discretion of officials.....

[Texas Aggie]

2 terrible misconceptions (corrected here):

1. It was a correct call. No-brainer, actually. Anyone who says otherwise either doesn't know the rule or is delusional.

2. It isn't a bad rule. Even if it isn't, per se, unsporting to toss the ball in the air -- i.e. even if it doesn't rise to the level of taunting -- it still delays the game. And it fits into the USC rule since this governs players' behavior.
