Again, because that is acceptable contact. The ball handler falls, so not sure what disadvantage he is put at when the guy that comes at him falls.
And I think your "several feet" is an exaggeration. He moves, but not as much as the ball handler.
This is why you see the play start, develop and finish. If you call a play in the start process, you call a foul that obviously did not need to be called. If the ball handler does not drop the ball, we have a travel for sure.
Again, all contact is not a foul. Players are not going to be stationary when contacted. Obviously a guy that did some weights stood his ground and was still in position to keep his position and helped cause the ball handler to fall.
