A5 goes up for a shot in the lane. B5 goes up and cleanly blocks the shot with his hand and there is a minimal amount of body contact. Meanwhile, B4 has come over to help. He also jumps to block the shot and comes down on top of A5 knocking him down. Are you calling the foul on B4 for contact on the airborne shooter or are you ignoring the contact as simple non-advantageous contact since B5 had already blocked the shot prior to B4's contact?
I'm calling it based on the part I highlighted.

From the video, however, it's hazy enough you can't tell whether the second defender fouled the shooter, or whether he got knocked down by the momentum of the ball being stripped.
