I noticed the specifics of this rule a month or two ago and have not been able to reconcile that with a lot of fouls I have seen called. This goes against a lot of "old fashion" 3-pt. plays, rebounding fouls, some of my previous posts (specifically about a defender fishing around for the ball while "reaching-in" from behind), and other fouls I thought were good calls.
I could go on with the list, but you know what I mean. The wording leaves alot of room for contact to be incidental.
Thoughts - IMOs?

As you get more experienced and do more and more games, you'll understand incidental contact more and get more comfortable with it.
And it will never be a science for you. I still have games where I have a whistle that I wish I had passed on and games where I let something go that I wish I woul have grabbed. That's what makes this whole thing fun and challenging.
