Player driving to the basket on a clear path and the sole defender reaches and tags him slightly without interferring with him. Whistle, whistle.
Sometimes there are calls that just need to be made even if technically, they don't completely fall under the "gained advantage" thinking.

Don't misunderstand: I lean on the side of a no-call when I can, but sometimes the situation dictates that a call needs to be made. A slap on the arm, even if the slap is not hard and has little or no impact on the driving shooter still needs to be called -- unless its a 40 point game with 10 seconds left! There are ALWAYS exceptions to everything.
