When a player simply reaches through the plane and doesn't touch anything, the result is a delay of game warning, or a technical foul if a warning has been given.

When a player reaches through the plane and fouls the thrower, or touches the ball, this is a foul, which takes precedence over the delay of game.

So you're giving a less severe penalty when there's contact than when there is no contact. I find this backwards.
