This question has come up before ... can probably search threads to find the discussion. There's a video floating around too from an NBA game where Tim Duncan gets someone in the face with the ball on a drive.
For me, a lot would depend on intent. If this was a normal basketball move and the person happened to get hit, I'm playing on, no different than if someone got hit in the face with a pass. But I'm not letting the player use the ball as a weapon, or to circumvent the rules on illegal contact by using the ball as a shield to buffer what would otherwise be illegal contact. If I felt that this was the case, I would have something (common or intentional). If I have a foul, I'd have to cite 2-3, or could maybe stretch an interpretation from 4-24-2. Under NFHS, you could also have a violation if elbows were swung excessively. Last edited by HokiePaul; Mon Feb 23, 2015 at 10:22am.

Ball To Opponent Contact ...
My NFHS opinion.
It can't be a personal foul, because there was no person to person contact between the swinger, and the opponent. So, if it's a foul, it has to be a non-contact, live ball, technical foul for "Commit(ting) an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to, acts or conduct such as ...". Or, it's nothing.

If there's a foul, I'm going with a personal foul.
No, I probably can't "prove it" using the literal rules.

This is a legal play and the official shouldn't do anything other than consider stopping the game for an injured player.
