Define "too late." By rule, that means "unable to establish or maintain legal guarding position." I have no clue what you mean "toe taps."
The offensive player should be allowed to change direction -- are you saying that the defensive player shouldn't be allowed to do so as well in order to play defense?
I'm with the rest of the officials here -- I call a lot of player control fouls.
