Your basic premise is completely wrong from the git-go. The rules do
NOT say that you should call a foul just because there is contact. A foul, by rules definition, is
illegal contact with an opponent. It is
always up to the calling official on each and every play to
judge whether the contact is legal or illegal. The rules book tries to help our judgment skills by giving us examples of legal and illegal contact.
All you've been saying is that contact is illegal according to
your judgment. Other officials obviously may judge differently, using
their judgment.
