Fun With Two Push Offs …

Is this offense initiated contact correctly ruled to be incidental? Do the dribblers illegally use their arms and hands to contact the defensive players?

Two choices: This is offense initiated contact and should have been ruled a foul. This is incidental contact - no foul.

My comment: This is offense initiated contact and should have been ruled a foul. Tough calls. Ball handler Blue #5 pushes defender White #22 with left arm. Ball handler Blue #12 pushes defender White #2 with right arm. While the second contact appears more egregious than the first, in both cases the ball handlers are attempting to gain an advantage by creating more space and both should be ruled player control fouls.
