I don't do NCAA but I've heard they have this "excessive celebration penalty." I presume in NFHS they flagged for USC.

If it was a "team celebration", I wonder how they would be flag for USC under 9-5-1(c) since that seems to deal with only one person. Perhaps the officals got them on 9-5-1(g) because they told B to knock it off and B didn't knock it off quickly enough.

Either way, I agree with others that a USC after the ball became dead should be enforced on the succeeding spot, with a 1st and goal to go.

REPLY: Even in the NCAA, it's USC. They just expound to say it's a "USC for excessive celebration"--the same way we might say it's "USC for the coach being on the field"
