I've been told this call should be made by the "C" and was wondering if you agree?

The C would be in poor position to make such a call because of his straight-line positioning. If this play were rebounding action, he should have moved topside (up towards the top of the key and out onto the floor a step or two pretending as if he were the Trail). That positioning would give him the proper angle to see contact between the players. Any call from his current positioning is just going to be a guess.
BTW if you believe that the "rebounder" in white should be penalized for a foul on your hypothetical play, then doesn't that mean that you believe that he is responsible for the contact? So why would you penalize his opponent and reward his similar action when he is trying for goal? Just a point to consider.
