Looks like the defender only took that position in order to take a charge. I can see why they passed on it.

What does that have to do with anything? Most, if not all, defenders who draw PCs/charges take their position on the court for the sole purpose of creating those fouls.

+1

I can live with a no-call on this one - but just barely. Crew must have felt the contact wasn't enough...or they just missed one.

You mean the defender took a position that blocked the offensive player's path to the basket and dared the offensive player to go through him or stop. Isn't that essense of "defense"?

This is some pretty good sarcasm there towards the crew . The pure essence of defense.

Now that I've had a chance to see the play on my laptop instead of my phone I have a TC foul. But I'm not surprised that the officials either missed it or passed on it.

The L is too far out of the slot to get this, and C follows the ball to the wing shooter. I have a TC foul, but with so many players surrounding the collision anyone could miss this. The video cuts off, but Pitino rightfully complains for a minute.
