He can react anyway he chooses, but if reacts inappropriately by "pointing emphatically" and doing and "arm swing/point" he's likely getting ejected by any good umpire with backbone and integrity.

Maybe a "chicken or the egg" situation.

It depends on who you talk to on the first sentence, I guess we'll see on the second.
