Just because a body ends up on the floor doesn't mean a foul has occurred. Often in plays like these, the player with the ball has to make such an acrobatic move to avoid contact with the defender (or slight contact that's not foul-worthy), he comes down off balance and crashes. Along those same lines, the defender, either anticipating contact or flopping to try and suck you into a charge call, ends up on the floor for no apparent reason. Not all contact is a foul. Not all bodies on the floor got there because of a foul. Kids fall down. They usually get back up. Life goes on.
