There can be contact.......
but there cannot be where contact that displaces another player. Sometimes the player that is front of the player behind him/her, can be the one that does the fouling. But other than that I do agree that we need to to use things like "over the back" or even better, "moving screen."

This kind of follows the thread on testing. I have read the rule book cover to cover and I have never seen the "over-the-back" or "reach" violation/ and or foul. This is my soapbox, but if you are going to call a game, do it right. Anything else is either lazy or inexperience. I still see guys who use the "over-the-back" signal when they report fouls. Sends chills down my spine.
