Ok, so it's a rule of thumb written into the rules. It states that fthe "greater responsibility" is with the defender, not the sole responsibility. It doesn't even just say "the defender is responsible for contact." It's a measuring stick.

And again, just because a dribbler/shooter is able to twist his body in a way that gets his head and shoulders past the stationary defender before his legs knock the defender to the floor does not mean I'm going to call the defender for a foul.
