If lead felt he/she needed to make this call, he/she would need to see enough between to see that the defender had arms clearly straight up, or straight out. In the OP, that's pretty obvious, but in a simliar play where the defender's hands might not be in view from behind, ref wouldn't know if there was some hand action prior to the torso contact.
