The defender having their arms other than vertical when contact occurs is what the defender did wrong. If it causes the ball handler to lose the ball, you can't not have a foul. If the ball handler doesn't lose the ball, you can possibly pass on it.

I would not be likely to go with a shooting foul, however, unless the motion really looked like a shot leading up to the contact.
