When the contact is above that level, then it may or may not be a foul. The official needs to NOW consider advantage/disadvantage to determine if a foul should be called.
What about the slight contact on the shooter's elbow during the jump shot? I'm sure that would be quite a bit less than the contact we're talking about where a player gets bumped and falls OOB. So since it is below that threshold, this would never be a foul?
