There are a lot of ways that there can be "legal" contact. If you read the rule carefully, this so called "contact" rule is no different that any other. If the contact is malicious of flagrant, it is illegal. If the runner over-slides the base and makes contact (which alters the play), then the contact is illegal. What you have to remember is just because there is contact, doesn't make it illegal.
