2. Legitimate Basketball Play.

3. Wind-Up/Impact/ Follow Through.
4. Potential for Injury Resulting from Contact. For example, a blow to the head and a foul committed when a player is in a vulnerable position.
5. Severity of any injury suffered by the offended player.
6. Outcome of the Contact. For example, did it lead to an altercation.
