Let me ask you these questions:
Is this a breakaway?
Does the offensive player have an obvious advantageous position?
Do you believe that the defender purposely fouls in an attempt to prevent an easy basket?
Now go check the rule.

Same...it doesn't even enter my mind as a possibility on this one. He swiped at the ball. He got arm instead of ball. Now if he had held onto that arm so the shooter couldn't get his arms up at all, then I'd go IF, but he has to do something more than just foul from a poor position.
