The foul on the other end was a foul and depending on how the rest of the game was called could either be consistent with the level of play or not. But it was NOT a no call. Especially since the contact caused the player to lose possession of the ball.

The defender is moving toward the offensive player and does not maintain verticality, and is only able to block that shot because he did so. A foul would seem to be supported by the rule book would it not? I understand that interpretation isn't "big time" and I'm ok with that.
