Two Questions - 1) Punching the basketball and 2) Jumping off a teammate

Note that:
1) the case play (10-3.10SitD) that I referenced above that outlines the FED philosophy of penalizing the end result instead of applying 2 penalties for 1 act was new about 3 or 4 years ago....after the 2 discussions above. That case play fortifies the consensus of 1 "T" for 1 act.
2) MTD Sr. and I have been disagreeing with each other for one helluva long time.
