That's pretty much the definition of Secondary Defender (and even where it is not, the video is an example of one)

At some point, however, a secondary defender would become the primary defender.

We have gone over this before. It really doesn't matter when this switch from secondary to primary occurs. It only matters for establishing initial LGP. Further, once the player with the ball stops continuous movement towards the basket and initiates illegal contact with the secondary defender in the RA, this is a player control foul. Essentially, once the offensive player stops movement towards the basket, the secondary defender becomes the primary defender.
