Some people reach the double bonus in each half of every game they work... It's true!!!

Mere contact is not a foul, sorting out the contact that makes a difference & passing on inconsequential contact can be a challenge though.

In my experiences the closer they get to the rim, more contact is certain to occur, but it doesn't mean its a foul.
