violation- tossing the ball aganist the defender

[mutantducky]

in A. So even if there is no other offensive player nearby once the player hits the ball off the defender and goes to get the ball it is ok?


guess I can't call intentional grounding.

And: the floor can't cause a fumble.

Of course. This is no different than the relatvely common practice of a player being trapped near a boundary line and throwing the ball off the defensive player to cause it to go out of bounds.

Correct, this is not football. The proximity of a receiver has no bearing.
