Made Shot, No Foul. Missed Shot, Foul.

There is no such wording in the rulebook that says, "A foul is a foul" whatever the hell that is supposed to mean anyway.

I agree illegal contact is clearly stated in the rule book. But I think we all understand what happens on the court is not always so clear (officiating would be a heck of a lot easier then, wouldn't it? ) The question I'm asking is referring to the idea that on marginal/illegal plays, you can lean one way or the other depending on the outcome of that play. Patient whistle. See the whole play. etc.
