Judgement calls (in basketball especially) are not going to be helped much by what the definition is. Fouls and violations are always going to be based on what the official feels that happens, all the rules are going to do is give a basis. When it comes to fouls, the rulebook is very vague about what a foul is and is not. Because in the end, it is up to the officials to determine if contact affects the play or is just incidental. Now tell me how the rulebook is going to help you there?
