Nope, but we are not really in the business of splitting hairs. The defender could have continued moving into the dribbler and created a foul -- we can't know because the offensive player negated that with his foul.
This is an extreme-ish theory I hold and I don't expect you to understand or accept it.

I'll say it again: "Technically" as we tend to use it here means "yes it happened - foul/violation - but I don't want to call it."
I disagree regarding the use of slow motion and replay angles. I think we were all able to see contact in real time.
