| Correct Call: | Unnecessary Roughness. 1 minute personal foul. While this hit happens from the rear, even if this was from the front or side it would be late and illegal. At the high school level this could also be a defenseless player penalty, where it would be a 2-3 minute non-releasable.

| For this to not be a penalty: | Make contact from the front or side and before the passer gets rid of the ball. | |
| Game Level: | On lower level games this should be a defenseless player, 2-3 minute non-releasable. For higher level games, the velocity is right on the border of warranting a defenseless player penalty. | |
