No, but there is "marginal contact" BS. It's stated differently, but it's the same thing -- judgment.

Using the word philosophy means that there are many different ones, and that people can use different ones. In the pro game, it is a guideline, meaning that this is how it will be called, and if you don't call it like this you didn't get the play right. Philosophies are vague and there are too many floating around and that causes more inconsistencies in the game.
The guidelines are not under a philosophy. The committee who was working with the rules thought that this would make for better basketball, so they instituted these RULES or guidelines. When you have to call something that is stated in the rules that doesn't involve judgement, that is not a philosophy. Philosophies can make things a "should I or should I not" such as the TOWER PHILOSOPHY. When you have to start doing that alot, in takes your play calling skills down and you will get more plays wrong by doing so.
