In the situation just posed by Adam, I have a problem allowing a player a free whack that knocks an opponent to the floor. Sounds to me like the second player caused excessive contact on an airborne shooter.
That's just not something which I'm comfortable passing on.
If the 2nd foul was intentional, then the pick one camp would say go with the upgraded foul. If that's cowardly in your eyes, then so be it.
