A coach asks, "Didn't my player get hit?"
What are you going to answer with?
"Contact that is incidental to playing the ball that contacts the hand while it's on the ball, by rule, is not a foul coach."
Or
"The hand's part of the ball coach."
Same thing, #2, like it or not, is what #1 is saying.

Agreed...in the context of a foul...not for OOB.

And I agree that it is not repeated in 7-2, but by logic or common sense...or whatever term you and JR want to use...most officials will give that ball back to A when it goes directly OOB because of the contact.
Whether you want to justify it by carrying over 10-6-1 or by just using the old, B got some ball too, the results are the same.
Sometimes common sense and the spirit and intent within the rules are needed and this play fits that need.
