A1 turns the corner and is on his was to a breakaway layup as B1 makes contact with his hand on A1's hip for an extended period of time.

Is everybody gonna call this "automatic" foul? I doubt it.

The words are substantially the same as what is in the NCAAW book -- and it means call it without regard to RSBQ or an assessment of ad/disad.

Those types of contact are deemed / defined to cause an advantage and are to be called.
