Sigh....
I don't know why, but I just wanna clarify a few things.
Nate, you stated your philosophy. In your own words-- "Boys are able to make slight bumps into defenders and use that to an advantage". You also stated "Severity dictates calls" and "My point is depending on the severity of the bump or brush will depend on whether a foul is called.
I disagree completely with your philosophy.
My philosophy is is that severity of contact has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether a foul should or should not be called. Whether one player gains an illegal advantage by that contact is the criteria that should be used.
Iow, look for advantage/disadvantage on fouls, NOT how hard the contact was or wasn't.
If a shooter can make enough room for themself to get a shot off by using a slight nudge, then the shooter gained an illegal advantage with that very slight contact, and a PC foul shoulda been called on him/her.
As I said, you do what you wanna do though.
