The good coaches understand this sort of thing. I had a similar play earlier this season. The defender reached in and got a lot of arm, but the ball handler kept control of the ball and went to the hoop uncontested, till she was fouled at the rim. The coach asked me if she got fouled early in that play and I told him she did take a lot of contact, but I didn't want to take away the offensive player's easy basket since the defender didn't gain an advantage from the contact. He told me he appreciated it and we moved on.
