I was frustrated with that as well. Webber went at him once and drew contact, but didn't get the call. After that, we ignored it.
I still have not seen a good game plan where a team intentially targets a dominant player like Shaq or Yao for foul trouble. All you have to do is create as much contact as possible. Take a few offensive fouls in the process. Getting these guys out of the game can be worth it.
I'm sure Flip Murray can draw a foul on these guys. Not sure if they'll call it, but it is worth a try.
