Camron, there are a number of situations in various parts of the book, where specific mention is made as to the quickness with which things follow after one another. For instance, a double foul can be ca;;ed when the two opponents foul each other more or less at the same time. Howard doesn't like this, because of the penalty, and he says, "One had to come first." GBut the book talks specifically about the situation when they are pretty much at the same time. Of course, metaphysically they weren't at exactly the same instant. But there is room to call the sitch a double. You're not expected to penalize only the first. I think the same idea is to be applied here. If the contact comes so quickly after the plane violation that you don't have time to blow your whistle, then the contact is the infraction that you should call. I think your example where the defender is waving her arms around and sort of accidentally bumps the ball or the in-bounder shouldn't happen, because you should get your whistle into action before the contact. If it all happens too fast, then it's a T (or intentional).
