You certainly have the option of calling a defensive foul against black 44 (for pushing white 44) AND an offensive foul against white 44 (for charging black 11).

Most often, it will, however, be assumed that the push by black 44 caused white 44 to run into black 11 and the latter contact will be ingnored....but an argument could certainly be made that 44 was going to collide with 11 no matter what. Some might even argue that the only real foul here was white 44 crashing into black 11....as the other didn't have any effect on the entire play.

I would like to know if black 11 wasn't there, would contact by black 44 have even been called?

I could definitely see white 44 being tagged with the foul.
