Is striking the ball considered "non-contact"?

During a throw-in, the ball is live. Crossing the boundary plane and hitting the ball from the inbounder is a technical foul.

During a live ball, ball handler A1 pushes the ball into B1's stomach, displacing B1. Personal foul or technical foul?

Or no foul at all?

After a previous altercation, during the next live ball, ball handler A1, intentionally, and in an unsporting manner, pushes the ball into B1's stomach, displacing B1 and gaining an advantage.

You make the call.

Had this convo with some college officials last week. They all say PC foul. I say the defender needs to grab the ball and take it.

Ask those same college officials to rule on this situation: A1 and B2 both grab a rebound and A1 yanks the ball away from his opponent by pulling it across his chest. The force of this causes B2, who was attempting to hang onto the ball, to fall to the floor.

If they don't have a foul, ask them why they believe that pushing an opponent with the ball is a foul, but pulling on the ball and displacing an opponent isn't.

I believe the justification for their position is, at least in part, intent...using the ball solely to move an opponent from a legally obtained position. In your situation, the other player is complicit by continuing to hold onto the ball. In the "push" scenario, the other player is not.

I agree the rules don't specifically support this line of thinking but the spirit and intent of the rules does.

Why are we taking Rman's test for him?

Thanks Nevadaref. That gave me a good laugh tonight.

It depends on which of the players is wearing a concussion headband.
