If A1 violated as a result of the contact, you can bail out with the travel. If B1 is knocked out of position by A1 who scores or crashes, you should have a foul. The head and shoulders means nothing here. B1 has a spot on the floor - A1 must avoid the contact at that point. Just putting head and shoulders past the defender does not allow the rest of A1's body to crash through B1.

Another common missed call I see is where A1 only makes partial contact (hits half the body). Many refs go with the block in this situation as well. But it really doesn't matter how much of the body A1 hits, or what part of A1 makes the contact. If B1 is set with LGP and A1 makes contact such that it creates an advantage/disadvantage, you need to call either a violation or a foul on A1.
