Even with his bad positioning, he is 15 to 20 feet away from an obvious foul, with no one between him and the play to block his vision. Guy just swallowed his whistle for whatever reason.
Could/should the C have gotten the call? Absolutely...but we have all had times where we see something and think "Oh wow. George will get that." And are shocked when "George" doesn't hit his whistle, and then it's too late.
Ugly play all around.
