2) How come you are so sure it's a foul and not incidental contact? Doesn't NFHS rule 4-19 state that a personal foul is illegal contact that hinders an opponent from performing normal offensive movements? How did the normal offensive movement of the post player in this situation get hindered in any way, shape or form?

"I should have no called it since the guy would have easily freed himself for a dunk."
Easily freed himself? That's not incidental contact. I told you what a good example of incidental contact is: a rebounder backs off when the other guy gets control. Don't substitute your judgement, or lack thereof, for 'punishing bad defense'. That's why penalty foul shots exist. Doing otherwise encourages sloppy play. My judgement is nonpareil, by the way. [/B]

How 'bout Rule 10-6-1 then, Mr. Perfect? That one states
"Extending the arms fully or partially other than vertically so that freedom of movement of an opponemt is hindered when contact with the arms occurs is not legal. These positions are employed when rebounding when rebounding, screening or in various aspects of postplay". It seems that your nonpareil judgement also is telling us to call fouls even when the "freedom of movement" isn't hindered.
Methinks your nonpareil judgement is nonpareil because no one else(hopefully) has the poor judgement to consistently call the ticky-tack fouls you are telling us to call. Jmo, but I think that you need to find out there is a difference between a foul and incidental contact.
