If A grabs a rebound, and B tries to smack away the ball and hits him on the arm, I'm calling a foul, whether the ball is dislodged or not. I think it cuts down on the free-for-all after a rebound.
Uhmmm...hitting the rebounder on the arm is going to disrupt the play. That would be a foul...I never said anything about the ball HAVING to be dislodged - that is one factor, but the smack on the arm is disrupting the play.
