If I may, let me give an example of what would be a common foul if live but could be construed as intentional contact if the ball is dead.
A1 guarded by B1. A1 makes nice move beats B1 and then as A1 is passing the ball B1 whacks him across the arm. Whistle. Common Foul.
A1 guarded by B1. A1 makes what he thinks is a nice move. Whistle. Travelling. A1 goes to pass the ball to the official in front of him and B1, fully aware the play is dead, whacks A1 across the arm.
