Re: Fighting

If a player throws a punch, even if he/she does not land the punch, or if the player attempts to kick another player, even if the kick doesn't connect -- it is by rule considered fighting (NFHS 4-18) (NCAA 4-23). Player is ejected, two shots + ball just like everyone else says.

It is important that it's clarified as "fighting" because that will determine what the state or conference association does in regards to the penalty for the next game or games, but that's not the officials worry.

As Juulie said though -- it's got to be seen by an official -- don't guess on this one!
