He fell backward because he ran into a bigger player who jumped straight up, and because he pushed off with his forearm.

You need to lose the fanboy approach and look at the play as an official.
The camera view from the top on the reply clearly show contact made by Sheldon. I am thinking like an official!
First, since when do officials sit in the rafters or on top of the backboard to make a call.

Second, yes, there was contact. But contact alone is not a foul. This contact was created by the shooter, not by the defender who jumped straight up.
If you watched the clip you didnt see Williams jump straight up. He was moving into the offensive player. The rule of verticality was broken as well. We keep ignoring all the lower body contact. WHY?? Some say it was initated by the offensive player...what? Watch the clip again, Williams is moving into him when he jumps.
