I was watching the Duke at NC game last night and at one point Bacot backs down Filipowski and scores on him . He the proceeds to give him the “too small” gesture at which point his teammates on the court do the same and some even do it with a foot stomping the “too small person” followed by the bench doing the same thing. The entire team is literally ridiculing Filipowski for getting scored on. How is this not taunting within the rule?
