I’m 6’2” and maybe skinnier than Haws and I play guard in old man stake basketball. If a bigger guy (oftentimes a thicker guy my same height) decides to post me up, he’s getting a forearm in his back, and likely a knee in his thigh, every time. I’ve done the same move Haws did a hundred times and never been called for a foul. Of course the other guy has never fallen to the ground like he’d just been shot.

It looked worse than it was because immediately Haws ran to another player after the kickout and so he didn’t maintain the forearm contact.
