so volleyball is the only sport where you should be allowed to cheer and pump up your teammates to try to keep the momentum rolling?

You can cheer and pump up your teammates in other sports but not by degrading the opposing team!

Whats the difference between "ACE *clap*" and "AND ONE *high five*"???

You can say that a baseball team throwing the ball around the horn is choreographed; however, I see it serving a sport specific function in keeping the infielder's arms loose. Innings can get long sometime... after your third baseman makes that diving stop, how good do you feel about him making that hot-corner throw from one knee if he hasn't even touched a baseball in the last fifteen minutes.
Hockey teams huddling up after a goal? I guess I don't watch much hockey, but is this huddle choreographed in anyway? When in the huddle, are they able to discuss actual hockey stuff like defensive and offensive strategy? I guess I don't see this being much different than 5 players on the bball floor huddling breifly before a free-throw to discuss who is going to play where in an upcoming zone press (Sport specific function).
