8 ball.... shooting the 9 in the side...jacked up over the 4 ball in the jaws of the pocket...on the stroke ..player makes the 9 but accidentally pockets the 4 with his cue....

I actually think the rule is it spots back up......but i had a friend do this in a tournament and his opponent called a foul....

What ruleset? BCA probably not. Some others play 'all ball fouls'
 
Answer

BCAPL is cue ball only fouls. No foul. Opponent has option to restore position of moved ball.

BCA on the other hand mirrors WPA rules. Touched ball is foul.

So the answer to your rules question is "it depends on the rules."

That's the problem. The Billiards Congress of America has published a set of rules (which are basically identical to WPA rules) but the BCA Pool League (BCAPL) uses the rules published by Cue Sports International which differ in a few key ways including the touch foul rule.
