MTD, Sr.
9-2-10 PENALTY4 is a parellel to this. When a defender reaches across the line on a throw-in and merely contacts the thrower-inner, that's an intentional foul regardless the extent of the contact, right?

According to the original NFHS releases that's how they wanted it called (cf. previously posted Situations). Stat's is correct that MHSAA stipulated that for this to be considered a foul it must rise above the level of mere incidental contact. Not everyone got the memo because there never was an official memo released on this, sadly.
