They have no impact on the play and weren't safety issues. Anything more than that would probably get flagged for IBB or personal foul depending on the severity of the block.

This is what I have heard also at clinics I've attended. A slight push away from the POA should not be called, but any BIB with good contact should be called anywhere as it is a safety factor.
