The call in this play was a player control foul because the offensive player used his extended arm to push off the defender. Therefore, in regards to this play, your statement above is incorrect. Unnatural extension of an arm, leg, or foot by the offensive player is one of the exceptions to the RA rule.

I agree with that statement and its application to the play mentioned. I answered in a general sense about a defender taking off inside the RA.
