That would be a scratch, and yes, kind of a dirty play. If playing open ball-in-hand, the other player could line up wherever and shoot the 8-ball in the easiest pocket. If not playing open ball-in-hand, in most cases, he would spot the 8-ball on the foot spot and take ball-in-hand behind the headstring for a fair chance. Also it depends on house rules.

Or is it just the other person go, or I lose the game cause of it ?
