I'm fast enough to usually avoid getting hit on the shooting arm, but I get plenty of contact on the off-hand/arm which, since I'm a smaller player, can and does throw me off-balance and influence my shot. I consider it a foul, but I rarely win that battle unless I'm taken to the floor.
Thanks in advance...

All contact is not a foul. It is that simple. And unless the contact put someone at a disadvantage, it is probably not going to be called. I really have no idea what you being smaller has to do with any of this. You being smaller might be more reason you are not getting calls when guys are bigger are making contact with you. And what you consider is a foul does not make it so either. It is nice to have an opinion, but the only opinion that matters in these cases are the officials that are watching the plays in question. If they feel it is a foul they will call it. If they feel it is not a foul, they won’t.
