And no a ref doesn't have to blow the whistle even though there is a 'crash'. Good no-call and play on.
As for the shooting foul, hard to say. Looks like it shouldn't have been called but maybe the ref had a better angle, seemed like a slight bump. I wouldn't have called it but I can't criticize the ref who did although as Nevada notes positioning is an issue.

This philosophy makes no sense at all.

You know why charges are unusual during presses (or any full court situation really)? Because the dribbler has the whole court to avoid a defender so it's hard for the defender to get in the path of the dribbler. So I'm not sue what this being a press has to do with whether it's a charge or not. If you think the contact is marginal, then just say so.
