I agree. The rule book states that if contact is made by the offense and the defense is in proper position and the offense gains an advantage, then it's an offensive foul. However, basketball is a contact sport. If you called a fould everytime one player put his/her hands on or bumped another player, then there would be no game. If would be a free throw game.
I understand exactly what you are saying. And agree with it. However, I feel that a ref. must use his/her own judgement as to how much contact is too much.
