As it relates to the defender's displacement, I don't see the relevance of the ball handler falling after he slammed into the defender's torso.

The location of the impact means nothing to me. He stood his ground and the ball handler fell over. If he was put at a disadvantage, he would be at the other end of the lane or falling down himself.
Contact can be severe and not be a foul. I would not even come close to considering this a PC foul even if the ball handler was upright. And certainly not a high level call if made when players bounce off of each other often and no foul is called nor should be called.
