Good no-call.

No, you want to penalize the defender for knocking down the offensive player which is what he did.
If the offensive player had been the only one to fall I would say the kid tripped over his own feet but since the defender also fell - and they fell at the same time - there had to be some contact. Putting a late whistle on this wouldn't have been optimal but it would've been better than nothing at all.
