In such situations, I judge whether the "touch" is just that, or if it rises to the level of a "push." The momentum of the defender in the same direction that he was already moving is often the key.
Although it's rarely possible to do so at the moment that one must judge the contact to be a foul or a no-call, when viewing a video I try to assess whether the same contact coming from the defender to the ballhandler would merit a foul call. And I try to envision that contact as if I were in the position of the official.
In this video, I would have a no-call.
