Contact that affects a shooter is a foul. Always. Contact that doesn't affect the shooter is incidental contact.
That little simple tap on the leg, that is probably done to distract the shooter is no more a foul as is having a hand in the face to distract the shooter. I guess I was moreless trying to convey is if it affects the shooter "mentally", that's his problem, not mine, and I'm not bailing him out.
