Incidental Contact
When I see this situation happen, and it happens often at all levels, the first thought that comes to mind is Advantage/Disadvantage.
I have rationalized that even if two player going for a loose ball hit each other hard enough to break bones, in their attempt to secure the ball, if neither gain an advantage over or was put at a disadvantage by their opponent, then I have a no-call.
