It's been my assumption that when the poster doesn't specify or is using the general section he might be asking about NFHS rules. There are NF rules under the Personal Foul rule subsection
- "make any other contact with an opponent which is unnecessary and which incites roughness"
as well as
- "charge into a throw an opponent after he is obviously out of the play, or after the ball is clearly dead in or out of bounds".
Being 20 yards behind a play which is ending and then knocked on your butt fits this foul. The team-B player could have been just walking up to what would be the succeeding spot when this unnecessary block occurs.
