I believe that in one of your posts you essentially asked about the wisdom of calling this foul, especially if you want to move up. Some have told you here that it is clearly a foul, others have said to pass on it until you see if the shot goes. I can tell you that I can't recall having seen your foul called in a single high level game I have watched for several years. The singular eception is the excessively violent push, which must always be called (and usually they are separating a couple of players when they call it!).
This type of foul was called at times in the 70s when I was in HS, but rarely then, and never nowadays (in my experience). But I have seen several occasions in the past couple of weeks where an early push resulted in a whistle as soon as the ball came off the rim. I think you can judge for yourself how to call this one.
