Touching the ball after a made shot

Team A makes a shot, and has already been warned about touching the ball after a made shot. A player from team A is going up to make the rebound and the ball incidentally hits his hands after it goes through. Would that be a T?
Thanks

Its your call as if it was intentional or not. If it was done by accident while going for a rebound, there is no T nessecary at all. If a player from team A purposely makes contact with the ball, then a T is called

If it's incidental contact or accidental contact, then I'm not gonna get him for a delay of game. It's pretty easy to tell the difference between these types of contact, and the more blatant "hits" or "pushes" of the ball as it goes through the net.

If you thought it was incidental, no T. To go even further, if it didn't delay the game, I wouldn't have a T even if it was intentional. In other words, if Team B did not have anyone near the ball to inbound, why call a T since it did not delay them from inbounding?

I agree, as long as they are not holing or slapping the ball away from the other team

Great point, Z. Sometimes a player will tap the ball toward the OOB line after it goes through, and the other team will say, "He can't touch it!" But that's not true. He just can't delay the other team from picking it up.
