Thanks JRutledge for your insight.
I think my confusion is:
if a dribbler get his head and a shoulder past a defender's torso (with or without minor contact), does the defender still have the right to move laterally toward dribbler in an effort to cut off the dribbler but in fact, because the contact occurs, pushing dribbler out of his established path?
I would like to think the dribbler get to that space first, either by fake moves or faster moves, (otherwise he can not get pass his head and a shoulder without knocking the defender away), so it is the defender's fault to intensify the contact after it occurs. What do I miss here?
Thanks for any help on this.
