The one I wonder about it the T for punching the ball with a fist. But then, that never gets called either.

I think this is just a violation now, although I saw it called as a T back in '91 (the only year I was a coach).

You're right, of course. 9-4. I still don't understand why hitting the ball with a fist is a problem, for anyone but the player who does it.

The rule was instituted as a safety measure. The rationale for it was that a player trying to punch the ball could miss and punch another player, by accident.
