I still disagree , as a coach I am tired of seeing the games get out of control. A player of mine would be removed from the game for drilling the ball at someone laying on the floor. It is a shame that some officials still see this as a smart play. A smart play would be to toss it on the player and then help the individual up. This player drilled it at the player then walked away. Let me ask you -- is there any possible way the ball can be returned from the player on the floor back to the player inbounds ??? no so why do we think it is a must or it is okay to drill a defenseless player on floor. I believe some of you missed the boat on this one.

You were there, we weren't. The woird "drill" isn't in the book, so it's we have to interpret what you meant. BktBallRef gave you the rule / case reference -- it might just be a smart play (that's what the officials on the court saw) or it might be something more serious.
If you've got better wording suggestions for the case, or want the rule changed, contact the NFHS or your state association.
