Clean Block or a Foul?

That contact was incidental and did not gain an advantage. In fact I think the contact went both ways. If the defender would have planted his feet and taken the contact he might have had a chance to draw a player control foul. However he didn't and leaned into the shooter, making contact and creating a clear disadvantage for the shooter. Easy foul call
