Not at all Jean. The rules state that if the contact does not prevent a player from committing normal offensive movement. If the shot goes up and the follow thru or the landing is not affected by the contact, you should pass on the call and rule the contact incidental.

So what you're saying is that if the contact does prevent a normal offensive movement, then you call the foul and 1. For example, player A1 shoots, player B1 does a solid hit on the arm of player A1, balls goes in, you should call the foul. Correct?
If the hit is soft and the ball goes in, then no foul.
If the hit is soft and the ball does not go in, then is there a foul?

I do not care what the fans think. Most camps I have attended clearly want the officials to see the beginning, middle and end of a play. So if you call a hand check when a dribbler is going to the hole, you might be taking away a very easy basket if you just blow the whistle at the first sign of contact. I have even in plays like this asked the coach, "Do you want the basket or the foul on the sideline?" They always say they would rather have the basket.
