Are you in favor of the refs rewarding the offensive player every time he initiates contact? (alien.top)

with a foul call? I understand using your hips or shoulder to create separation is part of the game and as a defender if your not strong enough to take the contact then oh well. But also as defender you are entitled to your position. Where do you guys stand on this ?

I think when a player is airborne clearly going to the hoop and they collide with a player most of the time its fine to reward the offensive player. (Giannis can sometimes be a bit much bulldozing someone)

The thing I hate is the little arm kick-out to slightly elbow the defender who is side-to-side with you on your way up and its an And-1. You see it a lot with elite guards like Dame, Kyrie, Steph, Mitchell.
