Your player gets slapped on the arm while holding the ball prior to dribbling, but doesnt lose the ball or commit a violation because of it. Result = no whistle.

Your opponent in the same sitch, but loses the ball or commits a travel because of it. Result = foul.

Advantage/disadvantage is the name of the game.

Try looking at the result of contact on what appears to be the "same play" to you. By all means, try to post some of the plays in question on here!!
