The FED did have a rule many years ago about running under an airborne shooter. It was put in because they thought it was a potentially dangerous act and they wanted to discourage the practise. The direction was to call the act an unsporting "T" if there was no contact. Contact that dumped an airborne shooter hard was still supposed to be intentional or flagrant. That rule lasted about 2 years, and then it got taken out--mainly because it was being interpreted and called so differently all over the country.
The quick poke in the stomach is an old trick. Right along with the quick tap on a jump-shooter's elbow.
