Uh, that is diving on another player. Not sure how you can reasonably describe it as anything else.

Remember, that player on the floor had the ball.

Compare that to a player standing with the ball and an opponent jumps at that player, in an attempt to play the ball, and slams into that player. Are you saying that you let defenders do that? If so, why? If not, how is it any different than when a player is on the floor.
