Where Should I Hit the Ball?

Q & A
A: No. As soon as the ball hit your opponent, it’s a fault on your opponent and the ball is considered dead (rule 7.H). Once the ball is declared dead, the rally is over, and you may touch the net post without penalty. If, however, you touched the net post before the ball was otherwise dead then, yes, your opponent would have been correct (rule 11.K). But in this case his fault (being hit with the ball) happened before you touched the net post.
ANSWER
Q: Touching The Net Post
Hey Guru, At a recent non-officiated tournament, my opponent dinked a ball that bounced in the NVZ on my side of the net. After the ball bounced, I hit it hard enough that my opponent across the net could not get out of the way quick enough and the ball hit his arm. After the ball hit him, my momentum caused me to lose my balance. I was eventually able to steady myself by grabbing the net post. My opponent argued that I committed a fault because I touched the “net system.” Was my opponent correct?

How To Change The Rule
Dear Guru, In a recent tournament match, the referee called the score once I was ready to serve. I served the ball, and my opponent claimed he was holding up his paddle indicating he was not ready. The referee warned me about serving before checking to see if he was ready. Was it correct for him to give me a warning?
Hey Guru, Who writes the rules for pickleball and how do they get changed?
