If this same contact catches the defender in the shoulder, it's nothing.
Post players cannot stick their arms out horizontally and cause illegal contact. The play posted is an obvious foul to me and something I've called in the past. I also warn post players when I see them putting elbows and forearms close an opponent's head and neck area.
