Has anyone ever called a violation for striking the ball with a fist. Called it two seasons ago on a player who blatantly punched a ball trying to stop it from going OB on the sideline. Coach thought it was a joke. Showed him the rulebook after the game and he said he had never heard of it in his 20 years of coaching.

AAU game last spring. Had a girl swing with the fist and miss the ball, ended up hitting the other girl on the collar bone. Called a foul and told her not to use her fist, or it would be an intentional. Coach is chirping about calling a cheap foul until I informed him of the fist. Didn't hear a word from him the rest of the game.

So you whistle A1 for winding up & punching B1 on the collar bone & Coach A complains about a cheap foul??
Tough buncha kids you got there.

She didn't really wind up so much, from his angle it didn't look like a lot more than a standard swipe at the ball. It was early, though, and he'd been barking a bit at me and my rookie partner. My only regret is that I chewed his as$ in front of the entire gym rather than stop the clock (running clock games) and call a coach's conference. But it worked, so I don't regret it too much.
