I am also of the contention, contact is not a foul. It must put someone at an advantage or a disadvantage. You have a player falling to the ground because the ball is taken out of his hands, not because someone contacted him after the fact. I do not know anyone that would advocate this being a foul by any evaluator that I have come in contact with. Either the blocking action was a foul or it was not a foul. Nothing else was illegal here and not simple contact does not mean a foul was committed.

Question for you. I think I know the answer based on your replies up to this point, but answer this, please.
A5 goes up for a shot in the lane. B5 goes up and cleanly blocks the shot with his hand and there is a minimal amount of body contact. Meanwhile, B4 has come over to help. He also jumps to block the shot and comes down on top of A5 knocking him down. Are you calling the foul on B4 for contact on the airborne shooter or are you ignoring the contact as simple non-advantageous contact since B5 had already blocked the shot prior to B4's contact?
