If it weren't a hard foul on the base line, I would give a warning to keep their hands off. And I hate counting a basket and giving the ball back to A, but it what has to be done.

Am I wrong?

Only thing I think might be wrong is hating it. I actually had one of these last night in a BV game. Two handed shove by the defense. No argument about the foul, but both coaches of the offending team were positive that the penalty was wrong, called a timeout to ask about it.

"There's no way they get the basket and get to keep the ball."

wow
