Get a Ruling •
Okay Ron
If the player is ruled , as causing the ball to move , then 9.4b guides us.
The word " deliberately " refers only to "deliberately touching".
It does not refer to the phrase "causing the ball to move."
See 9,4b/1 for examples of where ball is "deliberately touched"
In order to absolve the player from penalty for accidentally causing the ball to move then one of the three exceptions( 2,3 or 4) listed in 9.4b must apply.
None of these exceptions apply in this scenario.
There are examples of a penalty for "accidentally moving "a ball in Interpretations 9.4b/2 and 9.4b/5 .
These examples consolidate the view that a player may be penalised even though the ball was accidentally moved.
The third bullet point of the preamble introducing rule 9 also cements this viewpoint.✔
