That 'unintentional contact' is bumping shoulders or something like that. Jumping onto someone else's back is not unintentional contact, IMHO.
And notice in my original reply, I didn't say this was definitely a foul. I said it was definitely a travel, but there was
probably a foul first. Hard to land on somebody's back without there being a foul there somewhere.
