Here's my problem with this: in basketball,
there's no such thing as a (legal) attempt to play the ball with the foot.
As such, I think the foul cannot be common, and we should always go INT or flagrant with this kind of contact. Every contact with the foot will necessarily be excessive, because there's no possibility of non-excessive contact with the foot.
