That's not one of the defined taunts in the NCAA regulation.
If you're going to go to the trouble of quoting the rule, don't omit the line that immediately precedes what you cited as the rule:

Specifically prohibited acts and conduct include:
No player, substitute, coach or other person subject to the rules shall use abusive, threatening or obscene language or gestures, or engage in such acts that provoke ill will or are demeaning to an opponent, to game officials or to the image of the game, including but not limited to:

The underlined portion of your quote should be stricken from every rule that referees are required to follow. Where does it stop?

I did in the other thread about this. That actually supports the case even more so that this was a ridiculous call. Since that phrase opens up literally EVERYTHING to potentially be adjudicated as a taunting penalty, the referees are then expected to exercise careful judgement in what they are going to include in their definition of taunting beyond what is explicitly spelled out in the rules. To include a literally split-second action that is almost impossible to notice without the aid of slow motion technology seems to be stretching the intent of this rule, particularly as "excessive" celebration.
