I've read them, I just don't agree with them. If it's not enough to call the foul, then I'm not going to distort the rules (like giving an OOB ball back to the team that's not entitled). Your post also mentioned deliberately passing off a foul onto someone else instead of the star player. I'm not even going there.

Minor contact on a passer that would kill a fast break and take away the significant advantage of the offense? Yeah, that I would probably let go. Even by rule you're allowed to disregard an obvious non-contact violation of the defense that is committed solely to take away the other team's obvious advantage, ie: a defender purposely leaving the court to kill the play.
Although this sitch entails minor contact, I probably wouldn't call it if I don't think it puts the offending player at a disadvantage.
