"The defense is always getting the short end of the stick . . ."
Yup. Nick the quick got this call on several occasions
in recent NBA playoffs, and Reggie Miller has drawn this
call 100's, maybe 1000's of times. The worst variation
is when he kicks out at the defender (well outside Reggie's vertical plane) and still gets the call even though he
clearly intitiated contact.

This _always_ goes against the defender, and it shouldn't. You have the right to come down on any spot on the floor that was unoccupied when you took off. The defense is always getting the short end of the stick . . .
