Applying 4-19-1 NOTE . . .
This relates to a situation I had yesterday, about which some have offered clarification in a previous thread. Thinking it through more thoroughly, there remains one point yet unclear to me. Hoping you can resolve my mental dilemma.
I understand the 4-19-1 NOTE: "Contact after the ball has become dead is ignored unless it is ruled intentional or flagrant or is committed by or on an airborne shooter."
Therefore, when there is contact by shooter on a defender after he lands and his driving layup was good, my choices are:
A. Ignore it
B. Rule it intentional
C. Rule it flagrant
QUESTION: If the situation warrants it and I rule the contact intentional, would that be:
1) an intentional personal foul, or
2) an intentional technical foul?
4-19-3 gives me these two choices, and the difference would be where the ball would be put in play next--at POI, or at the division line.
I'm coming down on the side of intentional technical foul, since 4-19-5c defines a technical foul as "An intentional or flagrant contact foul while the ball is dead...".
What say you?
