(1 hit, intentionally trying to prevent the ball from going where it was originally going)
IndySam post #19 "Deliberately deflecting a ball to me is possession, even if it's one hit." under this then all defensive goalie bots are illegal. Why have goalie zones and increased height allowances if deflection is against the addition to G12 blue box?
But it now seems that this could fall into a 20 point foul.
Is one brief intentional hit on an opponents ball allowed as it falls under deflection covered in the blue box of G12?
The addition to the blue box seems to contradict the first part.

No, it's still not a foul. The main body of G12 still only penalizes POSSESSION, and deflecting a ball, regardless of how deliberate it is, is still not POSSESSION.
