Ok, I'm glad this is clear for Fed. As I admitted before, I wasn't entirely sure about the Fed. ruling, but I suppose I've gotten it confused with the NCAA-W ruling. I'm fairly certain if there has already been a warning recorded for a boundary plane infraction, the next time a player reaches through the plane, it is a T even if there is contact with the thrower. The other issues are the same - before a warning is issued, if a player reaches through and contacts the ball, it is a T, or contacts the thrower it is an intentional personal, and in both cases the foul also constitutes the first warning.
Just as a point of discussion, why would the Fed. consider the second reach-through and contact with the player an intentional personal, while ignoring the the action that happened first - reaching through the plane to get to that player? Before the warning is issued, they agree both actions are recognized - the warning for reaching through, and the end result (T for contact with the ball, intentional for contact with the player). What if the player trys to contact the thrower, misses, then fouls them on the second swing?
