When other players would get mouthy or stand in the way we used to load up w a lot of outside and send the cue ball rocketing off the table to either the left or right, depending on where the idiot was standing. 2 points for the nads!!In seriousness, a foul when anything not part of the table is hit. I have seen contact with the light played both ways.
I have to admit I have taken fouls many times for people crowding my table, particularly while breaking. Nothing like a power break that jumps from the cue tip and flies over the whole rack and hits somebody in the 'nads. Get the hell away from my table.
