I had one of these situations this week...funny thing is, the two claims being yelled by from the stands were contradictory....
Fast break, trailing defender. Shooter floats the shot up softly leaving the defender time to get to it. About the time the defender is getting to the ball, he crushes the shooter in front of him (heavy body contact...so much it slammed the shooter into the nearby wall such that he didn't get up for a couple of minutes) and blocks the shot off the board (not that it matters in under NFHS but it was before the ball hit the board).
From the stands, I hear
"intentional, intentional, he had two hands in his back".
and
"goaltending, count it, he hit it off the board".
I'm still trying to figure out where the defender's third arm came from to be able to block a shot off the backboard AND, at the same time, shove the shooter in the back with two hands.
