Agree that incidental contact is still in the rulebook.
Good officials have to adjudicate based on both 4-27 and 10-7-12.
That's why basketball officials get paid the big bucks.

If one is going to call a freedom of movement hand check "touch" foul, do it early in the game. Don't call your first "touch" foul with a minute to go in the fourth period of a tied game.
