My discussing is: If the defense launched into the offense (shooter) a foul will be called. Why the different philsophy on similiar plays?

If no advantage is gained by the contact, I'm not makeing the call either way.
It's not a different philosophy; it's the same advantage/disadvantage concept given in the rules when "foul" is defined. When a player is shooting the ball, the threshold for advantage is significantly lower. If a player is simply trying to defend a shot, the same contact may not hinder him; especially if the offense helps him by jumping off balance.
