My comment about not making a live ball foul a dead ball one was specifically directed at your example of the player hitting a player who is out of the play. I fully realize there are some live ball fouls that are penalized as dead ball. That is what this whole issue is about isn't it?
All I am saying is don't make stuff up. The rules give specific penalty enforcements. All you have to do is follow them and not to to get "creative" just because you "want" to do something that the rules do not provide for.
Afre the rules complicated? You bet! But that is why we get paid the big bucks.
