FIFY.
And, it's because there's a specific rule on it.
If they added a specific rule that "contact by a dribbler to the torso of a defensive player with LGP is an automatic foul" then the play here would be a foul.
I agree with those above who say this could go either way -- and we don't know what else had been happening in this game or the expectations of that area.
