It would be completely unfair to the offensive player too call his contact a foul in the presence of the defensive armbar, even if it was a soft one.

I am very aware of what your point is, I just happened to disagree with your point based on previous videos and previous stances from the NCAA on these matters.
And an armbar is when the arm is to keep you at bay and this did not do that IMO or judgment. Players have arms and usually they are going to go in front of their body at some point. It is not the expectation to never touch the ball handler. Just like it would not be a foul on the ball handler if he arm is out and he touches the defender, you have to do a little more than a touch. Never has the NCAA Men's side took such an "absolute" position.
