a. Baiting or taunting acts or words or insignia worn which engenders ill will.
NOTE: The NFHS disapproves of any form of taunting which is intended or designed
to embarrass, ridicule or demean others under any circumstances including on the
basis of race, religion, gender or national origin.

9.5.1 SITUATION A: In the process of scoring a touchdown, A1: (a) holds and
waves the ball overhead the last 10 yards; or (b) after crossing the goal line, he
momentarily raises the ball overhead, but then quickly drops it to the ground.
RULING: Unsportsmanlike conduct in (a), but no foul in (b).

Could the finger pointing be taunting?

I would say if the player drops to he knee and points up to his God quickly it would fall under letter (B)...thoughts?

Hey John, it sounds like you're trying to dig for a reason to call this a foul. Not sure why ... but how about this.

You felt that the player was taunting God by pointing up. You swear you heard him mumble, "Hah! See that God, even you couldn't stop me!"
