Sure thing. During a scramble for a 'loose' ball like this play my bar for marginal contact goes way up. My goal at all time is to call obvious fouls, and my criteria for what constitutes an obvious foul also goes way up in situations like this.

I don't see an obvious foul, just offensive player being clumsy when going for the ball. Marginal contact.

Then it's time for you to recalibrate. The defender knocks offensive player down with his leg.

Looked incidental to me from the scramble to get the ball. I had a no-call to be honest.

It was incidental until he actually got the ball. He then started a dribble and was knocked off the ball. The contact is the only reason he couldn't continue to control the ball. To me, that is a foul every day.

Except he never regained possession.

When he went to "go" he clearly lost the ball before there was any contact, he tried to pick up the ball and it rolled out of his hands when the defender was still a few feet from him.

And then, he got the ball again, and was pushed to the floor by a player in far less than an equal position to get to the ball. A loose ball isn't license to knock people out of the way to get to it.

I don't see the defender knock anyone. The offensive player was just running around like a chicken without his head and caused the contact. No call, play on kids.
