I think you are stating it the way I teach it. Hold position until contact. At contact, B2 stops because of the contact. A1 then immediately executes a reverse pivot establishing a new position on the court, and holds that poistion. That position may be in slight contact with the defender, but should not cause displacement.

When I teach the screen then pivot (or as I teach it, screen then open to the ball), the pivot should happen before defender starts to move into that open space, or it will be a moving screen. So it is screen, hold til contact, pivot immediately on contact to a new position that is advantageous to the offensive player. Pivot after defense stops and before defense reacts and begins to move again, because pivoting into a moving defender and hindering that movement is a foul.
