Don't see how "automatic foul in these circumstances (contact with FT shooter, two hands, armbar, etc.)" is inconsistent with the NFHS recognizing incidental contact in other areas.

I took this from the other thread on the subject:
"Players along the free-throw lane lines during free throws are allowed to enter the free-throw lane on the release; however, when the defender crosses the free-throw line and into the semi-circle too soon, this is a violation. A delayed-violation signal is used. If the free throw is successful the violation is ignored.
If the defender makes
contact with the free thrower that is more than incidental, a personal foul is the correct ruling."
And, someone else in that thread had a play from an IABBO "sportorial" referencing incidental contact.
