I think he meant extending horizontally.

Yeah - but you still don't "give up" your right to verticality. You are still entitled to your spot and the space above it.
If there is contact on the arm, etc. from extending, that is one thing, but if the defensive player is extending his arms horizontally and the offensive player with the ball commits a foul - it is a player control foul. Period. You can't bail out the offensive player because the defensive player was trying to block the ball - he is still entitled to his spot.
I may be reading more into this than intended - just wanted to make sure
