So player A scratches, giving player B BIH. Player B places ball near side pocket . In positioning the CB with the shaft of his stick, player B accidentally knocks the CB in the side pocket. Does player A now have BIH? Or because player B accidentally knocked it in "without forward contact with the tip" retain BIH? Player B was clearly trying to position the cue ball.
I said it was player B's responsiblity to control the cue ball and his equipment. I ruled BIH for player A, because of the inadvertent scratch.
