If he is extending his arms and the point guard is trying to get by but getting bumped all the time, you could have a hand check, a hold, or a push on the defense, depending on how you are seeing it. But if there is contact that is preventing the PG from operating normally, you need to decide if it is enough to warrant a foul. Sounds like it might have been, but you have to see it.
Rule 4, SECTION 19 FOUL
ART. 1 . . . A personal foul is a player foul which involves illegal contact with an opponent while the ball is live, which hinders an opponent from performing normal defensive and offensive movements.
Rule 10, SECTION 6 CONTACT
ART. 1 . . . A player shall not: hold, push, charge, trip; nor impede the progress of an opponent by extending an arm, shoulder, hip or knee
It sounds to me like the criteria for a foul was met if contact was made and it impeded the PG.
