Sounds like the crew missed the hurdling call. The ball carrier is allowed to hurdle opponents. Rule 9-1-13: "There shall be no hurdling (Exception: The ball carrier may hurdle an opponent)."
Also, "launching" is not a foul either. It is listed in Rule 9-1-4 as an indicator that there might be targeting on a play, but it is not a foul by itself.
