There is no doubt that he looked at the approaching opponent and braced for the contact by lowering his shoulder in that direction.
He did seem to get to his spot on the floor first. The questions are was he stationary and did he give the moving opponent proper time and distance to avoid him.
The official had to make a decision between an illegal screen (blocking foul) and a charging foul (pushing) by the opponent who ran through him.

It looked to me like he leaned into the player, and was definitely not stationary
