Seems like a play that you would have to see to determine, but from what you've described, I would say "contact" does not make it a foul.

Assuming:
* defender has legal guarding position (LGP)
* no displacement has occurred

Play on.


Thoughts:
* If by "pivots" you mean rotates torso without pivoting the lower body, you may have a violation, but you did say "not excessively".
* If B1 correctly pivots with elbows extended, you cannot have a violation, but you may have a team control foul.
