I think they did call a foul on the play, which the announcers called "over the back."

There was a foul called on Thabeet on the play, but Blair did not actually clamp down on his arm, by what I saw. The 2 players were more or less back to back, with both having a hand on the ball. When Blair went to control the ball, he is so strong, he just pulled Thabeet over his back and flipped him to the floor. I guess it could have been called a jump, but the refs called a foul on Thabeet, according to the announcers.
