That's obviously a strategy solely aimed at using fouls to score points. A team that bumps a defender as in your example is trying to get a clear shot to score points.

Exactly, as refs last year we were only told to enforce this rule is teams were hitting teams over and over again to rack up the points.

If a team puts themselves into a bad position and were forced into a penalty then tough luck. Do get into that position.
