I understand the concept of verticality, but it seems that many veteran refs still call fouls against those defenders that are standing with their hands straight up in the air, not moving, but the shooter moves his arms to make conact. So what is the call? No call? Foul on our poor helpless defender?

Nathan,
Many players have mastered the vertical upper body, which everyone can see, while the player takes a step or 1/2-step into the legs or body of a shooter. So, even though everything "looks good" near the ball, the torso and lower body, which is hidden to TV audiences, may be violating.
