3) 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....

1) Only with some officials. Other officials judge each act of contact separately and individually but try to be consistent with the level of contact allowed, advantage/disadvantage being a criteria also of course. I'm in the second group. I never worry about whether to call a foul or not. A foul is a foul. If it isn't a foul, naturally you don't call anything.
2) Do let
tiny out-of-bounds go too? How about
tiny backcourt violations?
Tiny steps onto the court while throwing the ball in?
Tiny.......? Do you ignore
all tiny violations or just
some tiny violations?
3) Passing on two-handed defense would pass you right out of varsity assignments in my neighbourhood. Basket and a foul...yes. No foul? Never.
