I think you have to call a push on play #1. No matter how minor that bump may have been-it is the sole cause of the violation and I am not ever going to penalize the offensive player by taking the ball from them in that situation.
I am ok with the no call on play 2. It looked to me like the defender over exaggerated the play in an attempt to draw the charge.
I would have block as well on play #3 for the same reasons mentioned in a previous post a few minutes ago, he explained it well.
