Why is it whenever a player with the ball stiff arms someone, they keep trying to wrap their arms around the ball carier instead of just grabbing the arm that is on their facemask and dragging them to the ground?

When we used to play out in the field, we always took advantage of something to grab a hold of. Yet, at all levels, of ball you always see the defender keep trying to lay a hit or get their arms around the runner and usually end up falling and missing all together as a result.

Is this something that players are coached to not do?
