I don't understand why we ignore major contact just because the ball it reached first. If the defender doesn't take the path that leads them into the offensive player then they never can reach the ball in time. Therefore their path which lead them into the offensive player definitely put the offensive at a disadvantage.
For example play 2. If he doesn't take the path that causes the contact he can't get to the ball and/or challenge the shot. If he does that on a 3 pt shooter it is a clear foul. Does not protecting the shooter as well as giving them a place to lane apply to all players or just jump shooters?
