You have to differentiate beween the defender and offensive player making contact that is initiated by the offensive player trying to fight around a defender who is well positioned and moving his feet to maintain that position, and an offensive player who is moving and a defender extending a hand to check the dribbler because he isn't keeping up.
Most of the contact on dribblers, in my experience, is the former. Tight quarters with both players moving - this isn't a hand check and isn't a PC foul. It's just contact. You can start to see handchecking when the defenders aren't keeping up with the dribblers, and then BBR is right - it is clearly being done with intent.
