I hear you, Bart. But if the contact "clearly" causes a violation, seems to me one should call the foul. I know I've called fouls on light contact because it caused on OOB violation, where otherwise I would have passed on it. Of course, as you said, if the dribbler is trying to squeeze by in a narrow space . . . too bad for the dribbler, including on this division line play if he really didn't give himself the space he needed. One of those "you had to be there and see if for yourself" situations, I guess.
