For situation #2, there is more to the story. What happens with B-1 after their flop? Did they impede A-1's drive to the basket? Did A-1 miss the shot and B-1 is still on the floor "blocking" A-3 from getting to the basket for a rebound. Is A-3 trying to get into a position to receive an ally-opp from A-1 but B-1's "illegal screen" prevents this. On their feet, B-1 occupies 2 square feet of floor, ont their back, B-1 occupies 12 square feet.
If I do not call a T for the blatent unsporting flop, then I most certainly will call a block or an illegal screen. A flop should not go unpunished as it not only puts others at a dissadvantage and it is an unsafe tactic that could cause injury to themself as well as others.
