While I personally usually do call the soft strategic contact (even if there is little advantage gained), it is simply untrue to say that not calling it "encourages" (or facilitates or abets) a hard intentional foul.
If a police officer fails to give a speeding ticket to a driver who is driving 55 in a 55 mph zone, is that officer condoning or encouraging speeding? All mick is saying is that he doesn't call soft contact if it's not really a foul, just like the cop who doesn't give the speeding ticket.
If the driver decides to press his luck and go 80, then he gets the big ticket. If the defender slams the kid, he gets the big X.
