No call or foul? (Clips)

Contact on the forearm or elbow while the shooter still has the ball is illegal is a foul. I was kind of focusing on these things and saw the defender hit the shooter ( or vice versa) on the forearm.

The defender in retrospect didn't do anything wrong and I should have no called it. Thanks for putting into words what I was thinking.

The height to which they raise their arm has no bearing on whether it is a foul or not. In fact, if they're going straight up from LGP, it should never be a foul, regardless of where the contact occurs. Any contact with the vertical arms of a defender in LGP is the fault of the shooter. It is probably not a foul on the shooter but it is most definitely not a foul on the defender.
