The Home Page article agrees with you:

"There was nothing illegal about the pick and as far as it goes, his teammates should have called it out. There’s no fault with the play itself.
But what’s the point of taunting him after the pick? If you look at the video, after he collides with Cadarian Raines, Raines mocks him while he’s on the floor.
This is just stupid. With the emphasis on taunting, it could have ended in a technical. Tech was down three with 2.9 left. It was unlikely but not impossible that Tech could have gotten the ball back and tied the game.
But beyond that, why is it that these things keep happening with Tech? You really don’t see it at any other conference school on a regular basis."
After reading your post and that article, I am surprised Dre did not get a T for that performance.
