While I understand your point, how does a 120 lb person slamming into a stationary, 250 lb person who has LGP and subsequently bounces off of him to the floor deserve a foul IAW above definition?
How has the defender been "hindered? He didn't move.

Right. And contrariwise, when a very large defender breathes wrong on a little teeny dribbler there's a huge disadvantage conferred with almost no contact at all. Does that mean that the huge player needs to be more careful when playing opposite the little one? Well, yea, sorry, Dan, that's just the way it goes.
