I agree that really flagrant contact should be called - but then it is something beyond a push to obtain position for rebounding. And you could make an intentional (or, in the EXTREME, flagrant) foul call if you felt it was warranted. But this is a "you have to see it to call it" situation. If you can get away with warning them when no rebound is involved, and make it clear that you will not tolerate rough play, it will either stop or you will soon have a missed shot on which to call a foul - and you can call one on every rebound if it doesn't stop! If it stops, then your warning sufficed and the game was not negatively impacted in any way.
That is my point. Call it when you need to. And the standard should be different if the shot goes in then if it is missed. It doesn't mean you never call anything on a missed shot, but I would hope it would be something you felt you absolutely could not let go, which is a different standard than just saying someone may have gained an advantage for a rebound.
