Goose And Gander ...

IAABO's thought provoking question, "If defender had done same to dribbler, would a foul be ruled?" wants one to consider if what is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

In other words, if an official legally allows, as incidental contact, the two touches that the ball handler applies to the defender, would that same official adjudicate the same two touches, as legal incidental contact, applied to a ball handler by a defender (in a reverse situation)?

Looking forward to a very interesting IAABO play commentary.
