I am looking for a rule / case on these plays.
A snaps ball. as B89 engages with A64 at LOS, A64:
a) grabs him wiht both hands and throws hin to ground.
b) in the process of legal blocking, B89 falls to ground, A64 falls on top of him and lays on him with his arms up above his body and all his weight on B89.
c) same as in (b) but A64 is blocked to the ground and falls on him, and attemps to get off. He ends up slipping and lands on top of him again.
d) B89 bear crawls through, and A64 using his hand pushes him to the ground and then keeps pushing him down, not allowing him to get up.
Thanks.

Off the cuff, this is how I would call it.
A) hold - he "grabs" and throws
B) Legal - he is not "holding" him down, just laying on him and I have told many D-lineman and coaches that is not a hold.
C) Not sure what you mean by A64 is blocked to the ground and falls on him, but if you mean when A64 is blocked he and his defender fall to ground, with A64 on top -then the rest of your comment - legal - he didn't "hold" him.
D) If he "holds" him down - foul, if he keeps "chucking" him in a way which would be legal if on feet - then legal.
