It figures that a MASTER HERDER, probably the best in the game, would also know how to properly 'defend' against it. Although, that's not quite true. Most jocks know how to do what he did. They just don't do it because it's dangerous; the same way they don't herd like Castellano because it's dangerous.
I'd say there's a difference between herding and repeated left-handed whipping to bear out. Garcia took it to an extreme and ended up creating a potentially dangerous situation.

Castellano pulled the equivalent of faking the defender off his feet and then having him fall into you and tackle you on the way down and then punch you as you lay prone.

It was an easy DQ and I can't possibly imagine how anyone would think CCC wasn't going to win that race without the interference.
