Most of the people I work with regularly pre-game that once a post player turns and faces the basket, they are a ball handler and they are treated just as we would treat a guard looking to drive from the top of the key.
As far as the contact on the ball handler anywhere, I find that the "hot stove touch" way of looking at things the NCAA women started using a few years ago helps me be much consistent with contact on the ball handler.
To me, this is possibly the most important aspect to beginning a game. If your guards can move freely, without being bumped and grabbed, you'll have a smooth night. The nights where things get physical out front are the nights that are tougher to manage for me.
