Is reaching in a foul?

No, I passed on an illegal use of the hands. But what the player did warranted that call because he reached across the dribblers body while the dribbler was driving to the basket and made contact on the forearm of the dribbler. I know "reaching in" is not in the rule book but coaches seem to understand that quick response rather than the long winded response I gave above, especially while play is going on.
