apples and oranges, rockyroad....stay on task here......
let's reveiw: whistle blows to stop play; Nova player picks ball up and starts to mouth off to Gator player; picks ball up - palms ball in right hand and extends arm towards Gator player; takes two steps forward to Gator player; gently throws/drops ball on Gator players head before he turns and walks away.
Can we both agree that is an accurate summary of what happened?
Which of the Nova players' actions (as described above) were NOT intentional? The contact made by throwing/dropping the ball on the kids head was clearly intentional.
To use your inaccurate rationale, I can argue that if the Nova player kicked the Gator player, there really wasn't contact - afterall it was the shoe (not the actual foot) that made contact.
C'mon - I think reasonable people can agree that a physical act by the Nova player resulted in contact w/ the Gator during a dead ball.
