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 ?

Not only should the drive-into-a-defender not be rewarded, I am tired of an offensive player that is bigger/stronger backing down a player in the post. You work for position. Pushing someone off the block with your back/ass should be a foul. You are entitled to your position.

Don’t get me wrong. Turning and working around a player with some force is not that same thing, but usually done right at the basket. You need to establish that position before getting the ball, not get the ball 8-10 feet out and push the defender all the way under the basket.
