OK, after stewing on this one, I think I've got a solution. It just bothers the hell out of me that a team can be rewarded for this kind of behavior. So after much thought, here's what I'd do.

As soon as I see the "taunting" begin, I blow my whistle. I know, inadvertant whistle, but what the hell. It keeps him from getting the easy TD, and of course, we then have other issues to deal with, but in my mind, it beats allowing him to be an a-hole on the way in for the winning score.

First, they are not rewarded for this behavior, they are just not penalized. And, yes, it stinks that someone can act like an "a-hole," but I know one coach that is going to be mucho unhappy with an "inadvertant" whistle.

Adding to what keystoneref said, also being in PA, I would make sure he got 2 USC fouls for his showboating, but even his acting like an idiot should not take a TD away from the whole team. I certainly do not like the "celebration," but as someone else said, it did not have an effect on the play.
