I should probably be more clear that these introductory statements are not my words but are always the words of IAABO.
IF we believe the words, then it's (by rule) a foul on the defense. I don't think the video matches the rule and I would not rule the video to be a foul no matter who did it.

Taking a rule that applies to the defense and a ball handler/dribbler (I recognize FED doesn't use that term, I don't think) then showing a play where the offense (might) makes some contact is just .... well, thelt's say there are better ways to make a point.
