How can diving on a player that is holding the ball, be she standing, walking, jumping, flat on her back be judged incidental contact? The amount of time the diver's hand is on the ball (unless the prone player is shooting) before contact occurs cannot be long enough to result in a held ball.

Not only am I not trying to judge incidental contact, but depending on the quality of the dive (8.0, 8.5, etc) I may be looking at excessive contact.

Excessive contact? C'mon, now. Are you one of the people I hear at girls'
games screaming "Someone's gonna get hurt" the first time players are diving on the floor after the ball?
Comedy aside, there is a BIG difference between players diving on the floor and diving on each other.
