In reality the first time this contact happens it's ignored unless it's an intentional or flagrant, and the kid would be told to cut that crap off.

Loved the metaphor, made me chuckle out loud. But....I disagree with the mentality that "this just doesn't happen." That's the mentality of an official/crew that is afraid of administering a complex penalty sequence. Look, I'm not saying we don't tend to be a little more lenient on contact involving players entering the lane on free throws because we DO tend to be a little more lenient in that case. But if there's a common foul that needs to be called before the free throw ends, I'm calling it.
