He landed there due to the impact with the shooter.

Not offended whatsoever. I completely agree that, often times, some calls unnecessarily penalize the defense. I don't believe this is one of them. I see neither verticality nor incidental contact here. Until a supervisor tells me otherwise, that's what I'll go with.

He was unquestionably wiped clean. I simply don't believe that's license to level someone, and that a defender has to be responsible for his momentum (verticality notwithstanding). If the rules say otherwise, that's good enough for me to convert.
