Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

It really comes down to intent - If you hit them while playing the game as it's intended to be played (in you example, if you were trying to get to your inbounder to fetch a ball, or get from your inbounder to your ramp to go score a ball), they'll be penalized. If, however, you go bolting across the arena just to hit them with no intent to actually play the game (your only intention was for a penalty), it won't earn you any points. A lot of it is discretion on the ref's part, but trust me, it's usually pretty obvious.
