The "spirit of the rules" are laid out in the "Basketball Rules Fundamentals" on p74 of the rule book. Please see Fundamental #10 - "Personal fouls ALWAYS INVOLVE ILLEGAL CONTACT and occur during a live ball, except a common foul by or on an airborne shooter". Please note that the exception for the airborne shooter is because contact at that time may be after the ball became dead, not because illegal contact wasn't involved.
Please note again, that's a Basketball Rules Fundamental!
