While not perfect, the defender waited for the player to get the ball so it wasn't an off-the-ball foul, didn't use a two arm "bear hug", didn't use a deliberate push from behind, didn't grab a fist full of jersey, and didn't excessively contact the player. That pretty much checks most of the boxes for a common foul in my high school game and I definitely wouldn't call this an intentional foul in my high school game.
