I suppose it could be appropriate if one player had the ball wrapped up and the opponent tried to punch it out. I don't think the rules makers want players going in with fists due to the possibility of punching the opponent instead of the ball. It seems more like a safety type of rule...not that much different then the swinging elbows rules.

This is one time I could see calling it. I almost had it once, a long time ago, but she nailed her opponent in the chest instead. In hindsight, I should have gone with an intentional foul instead of a common foul.
