I'm fast enough to usually avoid getting hit on the shooting arm, but I get plenty of contact on the off-hand/arm which, since I'm a smaller player, can and does throw me off-balance and influence my shot. I consider it a foul, but I rarely win that battle unless I'm taken to the floor.

Thanks in advance...
I don't know that anything we respond with here on this forum will solve the problem you seem to be having. Obviously, if it as you state, it is a foul. But not sure where you're gonna go with that from there.
Maybe try yelling real loud at the refs. Let us know how it works out for you.

Now that's what I call being "approachable". Well done.
