I hope this one runs to 10 pages, and several bags of popcorn!

Has anyone ever called a violation for striking the ball with a fist. Called it two seasons ago on a player who blatantly punched a ball trying to stop it from going OB on the sideline. Coach thought it was a joke. Showed him the rulebook after the game and he said he had never heard of it in his 20 years of coaching.

I've seen it once, at a aau game.

I didn't realize I saw a violation until the play was done, other team got the ball anyway so no biggie.
