Not always the best call. Does defender have LGP? Who initiated the contact? Are you reffing the defense?
Not likely saying anything you don't already know, but these are important things to remember. I think it's more accurate to say that torso-to-torso contact is ALMOST always a PC foul. But not always. It's important not to reward sloppy defense.
Like I always say...

I agree especially where the defender is still moving forward but generally if movement is sideways contact on torso means defender on spot first and therefore offensive foul.
If you referee the defense and discuss this in pregame there should always be a correct call. It is where you are caught by surprise that you get it wrong
