#2, common foul. No big deal here. In fact, you could make a case for Red #20 fouling first.
#3, this is the one foul I have as flagrant. That's an intentional elbow to the shooter's head. In the NCAA, they're reviewing that and he's gone.
#4, an obvious INT foul.
#5, I have an INT foul here, not a flagrant. Yes, he hits the floor hard but the contact is not flagrant. #5 looks bad but the contact in #3 is more savage.
#6, common foul.

I understand what you are saying, but by that time the officials should realize that kid is not a basketball player. He left his feet once in the video on the last foul. Even then he never jumped to the height of the ball in the other player's hands. He just realized he couldn't get that high and fouled the kid - again around the head.
How many of us that have played the game make it a habit of attempting to block shots without leaving the floor? Staying on the floor is great for getting more torque while swinging the arms, but there is almost no chance of blocking the shot.
