I don't know what rule to reference it to, but I called an intentional on the offense this year. Who has their book, do they even reference offensive vs defensive player in the intentioanl language? If the foul is over the line hard, I think you have justification to call it.
You probably had to see the play, but it was the usual mix of rough play, frustration, and testosterone.
A went to set a screen, B saw it and went to run around it. A seeing B avoid him, took a step left, dropped his shoulder, and crushed him with an elbow/forearm combo to the ribs and a hip check for dessert as he went by.
I didn't think it was flagrant, just very hard. I gave him an intentional, and no one said boo.
