It's not too unlike the idea that we pass on a slap on the arm as a dribbler drives by the defender.
I don't like telling a coach what he should prefer. That explanation can easily get a justifiable, "Just call the foul", from the coach, or "that would have been his 5th foul".

I'd rather stick to an explanation that is explicitly grounded in the concept of advantage/disadvantage.

"Didn't feel the contact put your team at a disadvantage" can be used for the slap on the arm, or the pass & crash.
