Unsportsmanlike Conduct or Personal Foul

[nvfoa15]

The penalty for an A player who fouls as in the above situations is covered in 9-4-2b. The rule covers both live and dead ball occurances; when in doubt its live ball (MHO).

This should not be penalized as USC because this action is not described under 9-5, it is clearly defined under 9-4 (personal conduct). Secondly, labeling this as USC puts this player on notice, the next USC is an ejection! I fyou thought his contact in the above situation was flagrant (worthy of USC) then he should be ejected then and there.
