I agree 100% with the statement previously made in this thread that when you have ten players and two or three officials running around in a small area, that there will be some incidental contact. Having said that, I would like to pose the following question:

Why does a player need to touch an opposing player with his/her hands or forearms to play basketball? Especially when the player can see his/her opponent 99.99% of the time.
