Another key element to making the game better.  We so often missed these types of fouls, which philosophy of advantage and disadvantage comes into consideration.  A new consideration to keep in mind is the ability of players on offense and defense to freely move during play.  For example, keeping a clean entry pass to the post player forces the defender to give the post player the freedom of movement to receive the entry pass without any pushes or holds.

The potential hindered freedom of movement can be judged by observing both the defensive and offensive players' rhythm, speed, balance.  Any illegal re-routes forced by defender are fouls.
