I agree!

You fellas need to look at the replay. Williams' left arm doesn't touch the shooter at all.

From that angle it seems as though you are right. From the slow motion angle under the hoop it looks different. One thing that does need to be considered is the angle at which Williams is coming from. Imagine the same play with Williams trying to take a charge from that angle. You gonna give it to him? You want to talk about the principle of verticality, just watch it. He is moving into the shooter. He creates the contact. Had he been directly in front of the shooter then maybe, but the angle at which he took IMO there is no way that isn't a foul.
