You would not call a foul on a player that throws the ball off a player as that player is falling out of bounds. Why would you call a foul in this situation?

C'mon now, Rut. Stay with me here.
Besides the first two items disallowed [eg., stuff with the hands (holds, and hacks) and stuff with the body (trips and blocks)] that rule says a player shouldn't "use
any rough tactics" either.
Knocking a player to the floor with or without the ball is kinda rough, ain't it?
