There is a big difference between lowering a shoulder and CONTACTING the defender. Most of the times I hear coaches or players saying this, there is no contact.

This is coachspeak much like "moving screen" is, we hear them asking for something that is not a foul without contact.

It is a normal position for a dribbler going to the basket to have their head and shoulder leading the rest of their body.

We are still looking for LGP and contact that displaces the defender.
