I still don't understand why it matters to you whether the player it hit was an offensive or a defensive player. No matter who it was, when it hit a player, our judgement of fair/foul would be made - if the ball was in fair territory when it hit the player (offensive or defensive), it would be a fair ball... if the ball was in foul territyro when it hit the player (offensive or defensive), it would be a foul ball.

The REST of the call may hinge on who this mystery player was (who turned out to be F5) ... but fair/foul does not, and as I said before, bringing in the question as to who this player was is a red herring that distracts from the actual question asked.
