Intentional Foul?
I'm pretty sure this was discussed previously but can't find the thread. Casebook situation 10.3.10C says:
Team A scores near the end of the fourth quarter and is trailing by one point. B1 has the ball and is moving along the end line to make the throw-in. A2 steps out of bounds and fouls B1. Is the foul personal or technical? RULING: This is an intentional personal foul. The time remaining to be played or whether Team A had been previously warned for a delay-of-game situation is not a factor. If the team had not been warned, the foul constitutes the warning.
My question is this: If Team A had been given a DOG warning already wouldn't the reaching through the plane cause a technical whether or not contact followed (i.e., the reaching through causing the technical came first followed by contact, regardless of the amount of time between the two actions)?
I understand the rule is what it is and will call it that way. This just struck me as curious and was wondering if I'm completely off base in my question.
