The defender was trying to get an Oscar award...that's a no call in my book everyday of the week. The offensive player stops well short of any kind of contact that would send the defender to the floor...I think the ballhandler does a good job of not going to and through the defender. The simple fact that he has his forearm out and there's contact doesn't make it an offensive foul.
