If the umpire says he judged that the defense player was in the offensive players way but for some reason it wasn't obstruction, then that is a rules misapplication.

This play from last night's Jazz 76er's game has created a bit of consternation in the local chatter (I live in the footprint of the Jazz's fanbase): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Wg8TSo3V8
