Of course if your boss says he wants a foul on this, by all means, go ahead and do so.
I think most HS officials when you consider all levels and experience levels are not capable of passing on this play, because they are like many here, they see contact they think foul on these types of plays. At the same time cannot identify hand-checking or illegal screens, but this call is a "must call" for many because there was any type of contact with an airborne shooter.
