No, but you threw LGP into the discussion as the reason you can't call a PC foul here when it's completely irrelevant.

I guess if you wanted to go there, there would be justification to call a foul on the defender much more than on the airborne player. That would be more proper if we are talking about a PC foul vs. a blocking foul in this situation if you ask me. This is also why we get paid the big bucks right?

Anyone who calls a defensive (shooting) foul here is going to get an *** chewing for not calling the T for using the rim to change his direction. And by the time the contact here occurs, the defender is walking away from Rondo. You can't rundown a defender from behind even if he doesn't have LGP.
sorry, but there's more justification for a PC foul (by rule) than a bocking foul. I'm still going with the T for hanging on the rim and ignoring the contact.
