IMHO, if there is contact made, we should punish the contact.

What kind of logic is that?
1- If there's no contact, B gets 2 FTs and the ball for a throw-in.
2- If some poor joker gets a tooth knocked out by an elbow, you just going to give him the ball?
I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. In #2, the foul is more severe but you're going with a foul that calls for a lesser penalty. That's makes no sense whatsoever. If it's a technical without contact, it's a technical with contact, because the actual foul occurred prior to the contact.
