This definition alone isn't enough to no-call, it in my opinion. I will call the contact no matter what the position of the ball, if it is a foul by definition.

You might want to rethink this.

I would be applying the kinds of judgment described by davidw. If there's no displacement, no significant effect on A1 physically, I'll agree with the no-call. If you're saying there's displacement, I'm on the whistle.

Assume A1 is "displaced" on this play - your basic 5 foot jump shot that gets swatted by the defense into the back court.
How is A1 taken out of any possible play?
What opportunity has he lost?
Why would you blow the whistle?

Maybe these are things that I'll need to change as I move up the levels. I tend to think if there's displacement it's a foul that needs to be called, regardless of advantage/disadvantage. Perhaps that line needs to move toward more contact, at better varsity, and when I get to clllege.
