I guess you would call a foul not because of what the player did, but because the player was possibly hurt. The result of what happened to the defender should have little or no relevance to the call. This was a smaller player running into a bigger player. She would have likely had the same result no matter if a foul took place or not. There is a reason you “call out” screens to your teammates.
