Why?
I look at it differently. If the player is only "technically" losing contact (i.e. shifting feet, etc.) then I ignore it. I don't make "gotcha" calls.
OTOH, if she is cluelessly standing off to the side of the bag with no real attempt to make contact, the I'll make that call.
Requiring a standard of "advantage gained" is too narrow, and probably too inconsistent situation to situation (and, too "basketball-like"
)
