Although you have explain why you believe this to be so very nicely, I can't agree. I think that the foul is the only thing that the player did which was wrong, and so it is the only thing for which he should be penalized.
The foul should be judged on its own merit, not complicated by anything else.
As I read this statement I cant help but wonder why you make the statement that the only thing the player did wrong was the foul. That is and was the only thing in question, so for someone to say that the player just commited a common foul is crazy. The player intentionaly moved the defender out of the way to gain an advantage.
Players intent- Intentional
