Cazzie Russel was jumping center for the Univ. of Mich. against the Univ. of Kentucky in a NCAA tournament game (back in the mid-1960's) to start an OT period and was called for the same type of foul.

And for those of us who called games before the arrow, you would see plays like this several times a season. A gets tied up by B, A gets mad at B, so he jumps in and pushes B on the tap, or fouls him/her in some other way.

I had a kid get tied up years ago in a game, and on the jump ball, he stepped on the other jumpers foot as the ball went up. Needless to say we found out why the other player didn't jump and he got 2 FT's and the ball.
