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.

This IMO is truely the bottom line. Contact intended to throw off a shot = foul.
