If you happen to be a fan, this is really the only relevant part of the OP.

If you're an official, here's the NFHS rule reminder from the 2011-12 Points of Emphasis:

Quote:
B. Taunting/Self-Promotion. Players are increasingly directing their celebratory actions toward opponents, which should be interpreted as taunting and baiting, and penalized accordingly. Further, the committee is concerned with the trend toward players "playing to the crowd," attempting to increase attention and praise for their own individual accomplishments rather than toward the game itself and team achievements. While many of these actions are not specifically illegal by rule, extreme behaviors could and should be considered taunting and baiting of the opponent. Officials should remind captains and head coaches at the pregame conference that all actions and reactions should demonstrate appropriate sporting behavior.
So the short answer is yes, a T can be called and it's backed up by rule.
