I am not sure I agree with that statement. IF the offensive player is at a disadvantage, the question is why? If the offensive player was going into a defender that is couple be largely his/her problem. The offensive player still has a right to a place on the floor. And if 99% of the time you have a foul, then I would say that to be wrong.

Where did you get that? If anything I have been told to have a much slower whistle and not to bail out the offense when they make dumb plays. So I would take issue with you saying "most" in this case. All I have to do is watch a game on TV and I can see the most do not call this a foul on the defender (or anyone for that matter).
