I'm certain it wasn't meant to be supportive, but I heard a comment from the hostile side of the crowd that confirmed to me I got one right.
During a light press, near mid court, the defensive center gets control of the ball. He's a big kid, and the only thing between him and the basket is a guy half his weight and about 2/3 his height.
He goes full tilt to the basket. The defender does a decent job of holding his ground, but really doesn't challenge the play much. BAM! Right through the little guy. TWEET! PC foul. Easy one.
Once the noise quieted I hear "he was backpedalling all the way!" I say to myself, so he obviously didn't initiate the contact".
