Well, there's a difference between a hard foul and excessive contact. Excessive contact depends on the situation -- if two players are moving quickly and collide and there's a foul, it's going to be a lot of contact, but not necessarily excessive considering the circumstances.

Based on the OP, though, it's a push from a guy who knows he's beat into the back of someone to prevent him from catching a pass and laying it in. Sounds like an IF to me. And frankly, I never put much stock in a partner so willing to criticize a partner's call. I have a different angle and more than likely I am not looking at the same place (at least I hope) as a partner.
