Especially in men's leagues, I have had players say that contact (such as pushing an opposing player) should not be a foul because it was a loose ball.
I believe the teaching point is that white still has team-control since black had not secured control. Therefore, a foul by white going for the loose ball is still a Team-Control foul and free throws should not have been awarded.

Yes, I agree that if there is a foul it is a team-control foul, but I'm just not seeing the illegal contact from this angle. I don't see any impact to the other players freedom of movement.
