While it is usually the responsibility of the defender, there are several very common situations where it is not. This is a perfect example of textbook incidental contact. No judgement needed. Once the dribbler get's head and shoulder past the torso, the defender loses the right to move laterally and the priviledge of verticality, he doesn't lose the right to be in his spot.

Camron,
If the defender has not lost his right to be in his spot, then he has not lost his cylinder of verticality.
