Ok, I'll admit the phrasing "right guy" could ruffle some feathers and insinuate prejudice officiating, just pointing out that may happen. Allow me a redo:

The refs on this play made the correct call from what we could see on this clip; however, I don't believe there would have been a lot of argument the other way

Sure there would have been; maybe not from the announcers or from fans, but you can bet your next game check the official would have been ripped for making this call.

Exactly. I have no idea whether this was a good NBA call. But it's a good basketball call.

If defender is stationary, then vertical, it doesn't matter which way he is facing.

No call. Blue 33 has fantastic body and momentum control there to stop at the spot and go vertical. Great defense.
