The rules state that any contact which causes an illegal advantage or disadvantage is a foul. In other words any contact that has an effect on play should be called.

Obviously the higher the standard of play, the more contact that is rquired to cause an advantage/disadvantage. For example, a player hand-checking Shaq on the low post will probably not cause a disadvantage, but the same level of contact in a Under 12 boys game might be a huge disadvantage. U Follow?
