I see this as a guard and a shot blocking center making contact. Who is going to take the brunt of the contact? This in like when a taller player jumps up and takes a ball off a rebound from a shorter player. Of course everyone keeps yelling for "over the back". I'm not punishing a tall player for his size, and on this play I'm not punishing a center for being bigger than a guard and taking the contact better.
