One of the problematic things to me on #3 is the L waved it off so quickly. There was contact and then the "no goal" signal came out immediately. He didn't give a chance for the play to finish.
Camron, I can see your point that she may not have made up her mind when the contact took place but if the L lets it finsh then takes in what happened he might end up with a different ruling. If she gets bumped then dumps it off to the trailer then, no, she's not going to the line. But in this case I don't think we should make a value judgment on the type or degree of difficulty of shot she was attempting to take. She didn't end her dribble, get bumped, hesitate then throw up a shot. She ended her dribble, got bumped and in one smooth motion went up with the ball.

Ditto what Adam said on #4. When I first saw the play I was shocked there was a whistle to begin with (there were a couple of plays like that involving the big kid). Black #14 would've needed help from his family to displace White #34 on a good day. Don't compund the problem by taking away a point-blank try at the basket from the tallest kid within a five-mile radius. If he misses the layup, that's on him.
