Without trouble I can think of 2:

- An obvious illegal screen that frees the dribbler

- Crash into a stationary defender by an airborn offensive player off his pass.
Too bad this isn't what we were talking about. Describing specific contact and the result from that contact is different from saying that someone is in a fight. This was brought about because I said I can't picture contact from behind after a block always being a foul that should be called. You just mentioned two specific plays and the results. Not the same thing.

I have to edit because I feel another "comment" coming. If you said any screen with any amount of contact anywhere on the court should be called then I would say the same thing I said about the blocked shot.
