If the hand in the face
contacts the shooter, are you still saying that no foul has occurred? A tap on the face certainly might just distract the shooter a tetch also.
Sorry, but any
contact by a defender that was deliberately done to
distract the shooter, and the tap attained it's goal, is a
foul. If the tap actually distracted the shooter, the defender is gaining an unfair advantage that was never intended by the rules.
Sorry, but using contact to
distract a shooter is a foul. Always has been. Always will be.
