Was it the primary or a secondary defender that took the contact?

It would have been the secondary. Does that apply though because its the player does not have the ball and is merely just like a pushing foul?

So if it was a secondary defender, it's a blocking foul. If it's the primary defender (i.e. a post sagging off her player in man defense, then that player driving into the RA and into the defender), whether a passing or shooting play, and you can have a typical pass-and-crash team control foul.
