Actually, it was called a foul.
You apparently agree with crew and Eli. That's fine. I think you're wrong.

By the way, did anybody notice that the slot didn't have a whistle. The lead, opposite the lane, had the call.

Actually, I did notice that the Lead took the call, as opposed to the C. I can't be sure if the C cracked the whistle or not, but I'm assuming that if he had, he would've been the one to report the foul to the table. I agree, that it's the C's primary.
However, it's very possible that they pre-gamed this exact situation. I've had partners tell me that when we have a play like this, where we both have an eye on it, that the primary takes the ball and the secondary takes the bodies. I'm not sure how common this is, but it certainly happens. If this crew used that procedure, then the result is exactly as we would expect. C officiates the blocked shot, which is clean, so no whistle. The L is watching the bodies and has the bump which knocks the shooter down.

Do you guys think he had a good look coming across the lane and looking through two players backs???!!!

Honestly, yeah, I think he had a pretty darn good look. He wasn't stuck wide on the opposite side. He had already closed down to the lane line and was moving toward the play when the contact occurred. I can't say whether or not he was looking thru the backs of the defenders. But he had just as good a look as the C. Well, I won't go that far. But he had almost as good a look as the C.
It was a good call, and I'm very disappointed that all the guys who want to give advice about moving up are saying that it wasn't.
