However, the defender's feet are still on the ground, just not underneath him anymore. Both kids end up on the floor, both coaches are on my butt like a wild hair.

It's a flop if you judge it to be faking to get a foul.
The complete dive is easy to call, they are falling before A1 gets near them, they convulse, throw back their arms, and stupidly yell out...the only sound that should be coming out if you'd been drilled in the chest is ooofff...and they fall.
No LGP, worst case...by rule...it's a T, in practice it's a no-call if they don't contact someone by doing it, and a block if they do.
In all cases they get a knock that stuff off.
The rest is like I said, LGP and contact through the defender.
