I’m with you on Play #1 but to follow up Camron’s point, why no whistle on Play #2? The player who hit the deck was still an airborne shooter when contact was made and the secondary defender definitely did not have LGP. Doesn’t a “real world” application of the rules include protecting the shooter all the way back down to the floor?
