In the old, old days, some officials would give the ball back to the player forced OOB and say, "forced out," which I don't think was ever in the rules.
If that contact was in the middle of the court and caused no violation, you could let it go. You could have the same contact in the middle of the court if the contact caused a traveling violation. If the incidental contact caused a traveling violation, I'd call the foul. It's advantage/disadvantage. If the contact caused a violation, it would be a disadvantage to the player who traveled.
It the contact caused a violation by the other team, you have to call the foul.
Good call!
