I had a foul call once on a play similar to Humphries' foul call. I upgraded the call to an INT. He (and Humphries) followed through unnecessarily. Coach didn't like it, but I explained that there's no need to follow through on contact to a player's face and cause him to fall down.
Good ejection on Rondo too. No need to have players take liberties like that.
Unless the rule has changed, I believe that players that leave the NBA bench are also ejected.
Remember when Stoudemire was DQ'd because he left the bench to help Nash when it looked like Nash hit his head after Horry body-chequed him? Robert's sportsmanship on that play was Horry-awful.
