OT: Contacting an official

[Adam]

If you think the act was meant to demean you, then you're right. I don't see it that way, though. I see it as one of two things, most likely.

1. Taunting.
2. Emotional reaction to a big shot; and he sees a hand and thinks it's a teammate.

As the new lead, though, he'd have to chase me down to give me a high five, and by the time he reached me my hands would be down. If I'm C, maybe possible, but my hands are only up for a couple of seconds.

Taunting who? the referee or the opponent? Either way it would be unsporting.

But like you said, I would have to see how it worked out. Stern warning would suffice enough.

3. Player being a smart ***. That would be why I would do it.
