guys - lets not split hairs here. There was contact made on the kids head by virtue of the ball being thrown/dropped by the Nova player. I don't think I would like to explain to Hank Nichols (NCAA Supervisor of Officials) that the contact "wasn't really contact because it was from a ball not a hand".

If he hit the kid with a water bottle, towel, clipboard, or chair - would you still argue that there is no "contact" because it didn't occur with a hand?

It was the right call to make - dead ball/contact T = intentional T; 2 shots + ball.
