so if there is any contact between the defender's long arms and the smaller player it would be a foul?

The Frankenstein's arms probably did bump the smaller player as he tried to get free, but as they bumped he would move his arms away instantly.
The contact was kind of like a defender "feeling" where the offender is with his hands but he never grabbed him. A defender almost always "feels" for the offensive player when a cutter is on the move, it is not a foul unless he bumps or holds him to gain an advantage, right? In my case The contact itself was very slight and would not warrant a foul unless you consider the cumulative effect of the contact and the way he was using his arms seemed to gain an advantage. Is this advantage fair or unfair I guess is the question?
