I had meant to bring this topic up over beers with a few guys and forgot about it. Had this happen over summer with sloppy AAU ball. Again, like anything else, advantage/disadvantage. In my case the defender clearly was looking to disrupt the shot by subtley giving a discrete poke to the stomach. I did not toot, I told him I saw what he was doing and to stop it. He did.
I put it in the hand check category. Out front, in the open, I'm probably calling it, a mosh pit down low, probably not.
