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

I was a clinician at a college officiating camp being held in conjunction with a HS team camp. One coach (up by 20 points) was complaining about all the "touch" fouls. I tried tell him that the new rules specifically spell out that these are fouls, but that explanation didn't mean much to him.

I'm quite sure he'll be earning a couple T's early in season before he finally gets it.
