Some people think not to call this foul is "unfair." How can it be unfair to the defensive players, when they're the ones committing the infraction?

My philosophy is slightly different, and depends on how the offense is playing it. In this situation, if the offense has resigned themselves to getting fouled, I'll call the first contact quickly. If, however, they are trying to play through contact and are able to do so, make the defense commit an actual foul.
