[QUOTE=jimpiano;548101]He hadn't scored yet, the play wasn't over, so why isn't the penalty enforced from the spot, like any other personal foul would?

Simply because "taunting" is NOT a personal foul.

NF 9.4 deals with "Illegal Personal Contact", while NF: 9.5 relates to "Noncontact Unsportsmanline Conduct by Players" Taunting is clearly a noncontact issue.

I certainly agree that handling taunting as a live ball situation, and penalizing it as such, would be much more effective as a deterrent, but that would require a major rule philosophy revision
