A player control foul that we would not have ignored in any other situation?

Call it live ball continuous motion incidental contact, which by rule, is not illegal, and may be severe?
I cannot imagine how someone is fouled, which basically means displacement or being put at a disadvantage by illegal contact. We are going to then say they have so much control after the foul, then call a foul on them? Now, if you can make that make sense, then I would love to hear it. But since this is the only place that suggests that, I have never seen an actual situation or example on video where this applies the way you say it does. Which tells me someone, long time ago, tried to be cute and come up with a situation to penalize two things, but there has never been another location where such action is said to be a foul. Not in the Simplified and Illustrated book or in the yearly guidebooks. So yes, I would think common sense or logic would win out. But if that is what you want to call, be a pioneer, I will not be that in this case. IJS.

Peace
