This is how I was told it happened. I would've hoped that the calling offical's partners got together and told the calling official the correct punishment for this play. I've been reffing for a long time now and I've never seen a player hit the ball with their fist. Has anyone ever called this in a game? I'm glad this didn't happen in my game at the end of an important championship game! Isn't this one of the original Naismith rules?

I've had this happen at many levels, once in a while by an angry player, usually by a player who has a sudden, creative urge to propel the ball farther than otherwise might be possible.
I always call the violation - every player has to understand that it's inherently too dangerous in this game, as is kicking at the ball.
