Any opinions? Is there a difference between a loose ball foul or any other player in control foul?

Never a reason to doubt your rules knowledge.

Based on this idiotic coaching logic, during loose balls can players:

• Punch other players?
• Shove players in the back?
• Trip other players?
• Tackle other players?
• Grab another player by the arm to prevent them from getting the loose ball?
