You must not watch much basketball.
Shaq is called for offensive fouls quite often. On Christmas Day, if fouled out while playing less than a full quarter. If the defender holds his ground, Shaq is routinely called for offensive fouls.
In the Magic's second playoff series last year, Dwight Howard stayed in so much foul trouble, he was irrelevant in the series. He incurs numerous technical fouls for complaining about these fouls.
Greg Oden can't stay healthy long enough to commit an offensive foul. He's the 21st century's version of Sam Bowie.

In the NBA, and in the NCAA this is seen all the time and is never called. So what is that reason then, is it not a foul, or special treatment?

Actually, it's called quite often in the NCAA. In the NBA, it's called to a lesser extent because the assoication is about entetainment, not basketball.
BTW, using words like alsways and never is a very bad idea.
