Apologies for not getting the quote feature to work. I'm trying to figure it out.
"If we were to call every single time there was any contact or anything mildly questionable the games would take 4 hours."
Or maybe the coaches and players would adjust.
"and there is no such foul for just lowering the shoulders,"
Agree 100%. I would just suggest that lowering a shoulder and initiating contact with a defender, even if he's isn't in perfect position, would make for a better game. I wish the rules were worded more that way -- who initiated the contact.
"fouls rely on one constant only. CONTACT. In the absence of contact, you have an absence of a foul."
I would argue that CONTACT isn't a constant. Sure no contact, no foul. Unfortunately, when there is contact, then there might be a foul.
