an example of a time I would most CERTAINLY call a foul no matter if the ball goes in or not would be: A1 dribble drives to the basket and just as A1 becomes airborn for the layup and is about to move past B1, B1 pokes A1 in the ribs with a finger or two.

I've always considered this to be a really ticky-tack call. The shooter isn't being pushed or disadvantaged in any way. The poke isn't enough to hurt.

Does anybody call this on a regular basis?
