Taunting

[MadCityRef]

Could be the WH wanted to teach the lad a lesson. Wipe out a TD, or show just how much a 1 1/2 yard penalty can hurt.

My first year: Frosh game. RB broke a long run for a sure score. He stopped at the one yard line to run the width of the field (parallel to the goal line) and taunt the defense. I threw the flag and reported to my WH, a very experienced official.
He thought for a moment, said we really shouldn't allow the TD.

How nice to know we have WH's out there making up rules to fit their own personal idea of sportsmanship.
