Striking with fist

Been to several camps but never heard that before. Interesting reasoning.

We were told to close your fist and strike the palm of your other hand when making this call. Never had to do it as of yet and this is year 30.

I was C in a game this year when a caught a girl doing it in front of lead. She was trying to save the ball from going OOB, but the L called her for being OOB when she hit it. I told her on the way down the court that it was against the rules to punch the ball.

"For real?"
"yeah."
