I was just wondering if any of you ever made an interpretation like this or do you automatically call that a foul on the defense.

You don't call a foul if there was no foul. You make decisions like this all the time in every game you work. Just because two players get tangled up or run into one another doesn't mean you have a foul. You have 10 people running hard on an 84' court. Incidental cantact is a fact of the game.
