Thanks for the links Jim.
This is how I was told it happened. I would've hoped that the calling offical's partners got together and told the calling official the correct punishment for this play. I've been reffing for a long time now and I've never seen a player hit the ball with their fist. Has anyone ever called this in a game? I'm glad this didn't happen in my game at the end of an important championship game! Isn't this one of the original Naismith rules?
