Exactly, I knew that which is why I do not understand the idea of BI when it hits a dunker's head. Are they saying that
touching is
only allowed by the
hands and no other body part?
If yes, then why isn't BI called more often when the dunker makes contact, with the arms or other body part, with the ball while it is in the net?
If no, then why is BI suggested (Cameron/Nevada) when it hits the dunker's head as the ball is in the net?
