Your posting the definition of an unsporting foul, made me think about a casebook play I read a while back about a player who is bleeding and intentionally wipes the blood on a player from the opposing team so that this opponent will have to leave the game. Obviously, this action involves contact, but the ruling was that it was an unsporting foul and thus a T. Go figure!

Right -- because it wasn't contact that interfereed with / hindered (I forget the exact wording) the opponent's ability to perform normal offensive or defensive maneuvers -- and that's the definition of a "contact" foul.
