Disagree completely. If the contact makes a player lose the ball, there is nowayinhell that could ever be called "incidental" contact. Incidental contact means that the contact doesn't give one player an advantage over another. If you contact an opponent and make them cough up the ball, you sureashell are gaining an advantage.

Skills levels have absolutely nothing to do with the call either. Advantage/disadvantage does. You call what actually happens; not what you think should happen.
