Originally posted by Bart Tyson I agree in most cases this is a foul. However, if this type of contact is not a foul by the basket, why should it be a foul at half court.
Because of what happened after the contact. It's not that it was at half-court, it's that the contact caused the player to step on the division line. Thus, the contact put the player at a disadvantage -- it's a foul.
The same would be true if the contact by the basket caused the player to step on the boundary line.
