Two men down!

I agree with you in the first scenario. If there isn't a foul, don't make one up. It just sounds like a goofy play. As far as the second, I really look at advantage/disadvantage when it comes to the carry. It has to be a TERRIBLE looking carry for me to make that call on a player not trying to go to the basket or avoid a press. The carry can certainly be a game interrupter.
