Trivia Question

[PIAA REF]

You are thinking way to far into it, A is throwing the ball in on a throw-in. A puts ball and arms over the boundary plane, but does not release the ball yet. B1 hits A1 in the arm while going for the ball. Is it a intentional foul because B1 fouled a inbounder or is a common foul because A had the ball and arms over the boundary plane.

I thought this was confusing as well, it was on my NCCA test I just completed. (but the rule is the same for HS)

I don't think so.

A1 holds the ball through the plane, but B1 contacts A1 on the portion of the arm that is on the OOB side of the plane. Ruling: Intentional Foul.

I knew the answer you were looking for, but your question didn't necessarily lead to that answer.
