I thought it was an accepted practice to "save fouls". I do it often. I don't like to get in the bonus any earlier than necessary with a lot of "cheap" touch fouls. If the bump was very slight and the ball goes out of bounds...I'll "save a foul" almost every time. Just like allowing a tiny travel in the backcourt when a player is bringing the ball up unguarded....it keeps the game flowing. You "pass" on fouls all the time. For example a player runs into a passer starting a fastbreak.....you don't kill the fastbreak by calling a foul unless it is really hard contact. If a post player catches a pass in traffic while another player maybe had two hands on his back but the post player is big enough and strong enough to score....you "pass" on that foul...or give a basket and foul....
"A foul is a foul."....I can't referee that way.
