Joe,
Obviously, the official didn't think the contact was both a) illegal and b) the cause of the travel. That would have been a foul. In the official's judgment, the contact was most likely incidental.
The travel rule is pretty cut and dried here. You cannot fall to the floor while holding a ball. If you don't like the rule, take it up with the rules committee rather than the official.
