Let me add this - if the contact in the original situation had been "excessive" and ripped the shooter's arm off or knocked her down, then I would not have need to post the question. As it was, the "kick" to the arm was enough to knock the shooter's right arm off the ball and cause her to lose control of the ball as she was beginning her habitual shooting motion.
So the OP is NOT a case of excessive force or anything like that. Had the defender kicked the shooter in the head, the chest, etc. - easy Int. call...so I guess my question (which has gotten several different answers on here and from friends I have discussed it with in person) is "Should the mere fact that she kicked the shooter be an Int. foul as kicking is not really making a play on the ball?"
Consensus I have come up with is leaning heavily toward "No, but"...
