1. While the player was vertical, he doesn't get to move forward into contact. He hit the shooter's arms twice while stepping into the shooter, not maintaining verticality. Should be an easy call...Foul.
2. While you can hit the hand that is on the ball, you can't do that. The point of that rule is so that a ball handler can't just cover the ball with big mitts and prevent the defense from getting to it. That contact wasn't on a hand covering the ball. He completely missed the ball and got a hand, knocking it off away from the ball. Tough to see, but the contact was not legal.
3. About as easy as they come on illegal screens.
4. Travel. Ball was caught with left foot down above the FT line just as the right foot was coming up....left is the pivot. He steps to the right and then to the left again.
