Rip Through

Curious what the contingent here thinks about the "Rip through" foul that goes on in the NBA. The play I am referencing is where the offense is outside the 3 point arc and the defender has a hand out guarding. The offense then "rips through" and acts as though they were attempting a shot. It is called in the NBA just about every time. I had this situation come up in a high school game the other day and I passed on it. My main reason was that the offense was out by the volleyball line and it was clear that the defense did nothing wrong, in my opinion. I'm just curious if anyone else has seen this in high school/college and what your take on calling a foul is.
