What do you have? I called nothing because the ball was hit first. The reason I ask is because when they fell to the ground, white split his lip. I am not saying the split constitutes a foul, but I need to make sure I am calling this correctly.
Thanks.

White has the expectation to land safely. That's really all you need to know.
If I landed because of contact and it caused my lip to be split (read: draw blood), and you didn't call a defensive foul, you'd have to either T me as a player or T me as a coach.
Imho, this good basketball play played the ball first stuff is crap. A good basketball play is also not fouling after the block.
