A player violently tomahawks the hand which is on the ball so that it breaks his hand? Good no call? I think a person has to be very carefull about what you are advocating because I also think that the rules are designed to prevent injury. How about going for the ball but taking the legs out of a player? Intentional foul? Or common foul? He played the ball. I'm not so sure that I can agree with acts that are high risk for injury being protected by definition of a rule. I don't think that this is good for the game or the players and as stated, can easily escalate into more than any of us want to handle. These are the kinds of calls that lead to a disaster in the fourth quarter and severe injury.
