That is not a call you make at any level IMO. The arm was not extended and this was not the typical "arm bar" that is allowed in Men's basketball either. Arm-Bars are allowed in the post in the back of the ball handler with limited pressure in a specific "post area." His arm is right by his body. There is going to be some contact with an arm every now and then. I do not see this specific play as him using it unnecessarily or unnaturally to cause contact. The ball handler is going where he wants to and never did anything to avoid the defender he charged into.
