The answer is b according to the NCAA.
They cite 8-7a - Penalty
I understand that part of the ruling. However, the next part of the rule and penalty discuss what to do if the act is considered flagrant and malicious. It is difficult to see how a player veers away from the open part of the plate, makes deliberate contact with the fielder in an attempt to dislodge the ball and that does not qualify as flagrant. This is a crazy game we officiate, guys. Any guesses how often this call gets kicked this year?
Once again, is there a definition of flagrant/malicious contact in NCAA ball? Not an opinion, but an actual definition. Thanks.
