Is the big guy hindered from performing normal defensive moves? No? Then no foul. The foul call isn't to "reward the defense" but to penalize the offense. If what they do doesn't gain them an illegal advantage, there's no need for the foul. I'm not talking about the kinds of fouls where the dribbler lowers the shoulder and just drives football style into the defender. Just the contact where you're kinda wondering, hmmm, was it or wasn't it a foul?
