You have to strike the balance between giving the defense the foul so that they don't "get more rough" and taking away an easy lay-up. In the OP, if it's not enough contact to stop the fast break, it's not enough to call it. If it's clearly for the purposes of taking away the easy fast break, it might be intentional, just as it might have been if the same contact had happened earlier in the game.
IOW, good job, Rita!
