With both bodies on the floor, I'd be hard pressed to stick with a no-call in this situation. I'm okay with a no-call when the only player on the floor is the one responsible for the contact, but that's not the case when both go down.
Agreed, I can see in rare occasions where a no call could be plausible. More times than not someone was a fault for the contact
