Coach, I agree with you. And I think (although I don't want to put words in his mouth) that Jeff would agree with you, too. But the incident in the Duke/UNC game -- which is what Jeff was referring to -- was not the kind of contact that you describe.

Coach,I agree that the described action above is a foul.If you see it,it should be called,accidental or not.

Note that Chuck agreed with you too.
