This may be on the harsh side, but Tower Philosophy is talking about you. the rules editors do not intend for us to call all contact, because "not all contact is a foul." My pregame with you, Call it when an advantage is gained, call the obvious.
The pot has been stirred....

We do not need the Tower Principle to know this. The rules say all contact is not a foul. The rulebook even says that contact can be severe and no foul should be called if normal action is not being prevented by either offensive or defensive players. That is why comments from Jim drive me crazy. People will read this and think they have to call a foul when no advantage is gained so we can send a message. The rulebook is not suggesting that all fouls are touching, so I really do not see where people get that idea from.
