I'm not meaning to totally disagree with everyone, certainly I keep seeing this play on hs and college level being called this way...something about how the game has changed I suppose.

Again a toe tap has nothing to do with the rule and as long at the defender is in LGP at the time of contact, not sure how you can call it any other way unless you do not have the judgment to know when a defender is in LGP.
And if your suggestion is that at those levels they are calling it the way you suggest, I know at the NCAA level they are getting killed for not calling it the way I suggest on tape. And because of the tape that is being shown, I see more PC fouls being called in the last few years.
