Guys - I always thought of it this way: if you blow your whistle for breaking the plane when the defender continues his arm motion and either hits the ball or fouls the inbounder, you could never have the call for hitting the ball (on the first violation) or committing an intentional personal foul for fouling the inbounder.

Seems simple enough to me.

I agree with you Mark P., but NFHS R9-S2, Penalties 3 and 4 require the technical foul (Penalty 3) or and intentional personal foul (Penalty 4). I have been advocating that Penalties 3 and 4 are to be used only if R4-S46-A1 has not yet involked. Once R4-S46-A1 has been involked, then R9-S2, Penalty 2, takes precedence. But no one seems to be reading the penalty.
