And that's what he's trying to tell you.

Does everyone accept this? Are you sure you are not penalizing a defender who is able to establish position because he is quicker than the dribbler?
Is it easier to determine that the offensive player is a step or more away from the defender as he starts to establish position or is it easier to determine that the defender is set before the contact occurs?
