If you take the ball and intentionally pressed it to an opponent's face or you intentioanlly "bop" an opponent on the head with the ball, I'm probably going to have a T for unsporting conduct. Stick a ball in an opponent's chest to make space and that opponent is going to grab the ball, held ball.

But I do not have a personal foul. A personal foul requires illegal contact between 2 opponents, not between an opponent and the ball.

In the original play, we agree. I do not have a foul.
