Sorry for the long set-up of the question.

Don't apologize, it's a great question, and the board was looking a little sparse the last couple of days.
I've wondered about this too, with or without the calling for the ball. How much movement is the screener allowed AFTER contact? What kind of contact? Which directions?
I'm thinking in your case, if A1 wasn't actually displacing B1 (such as backing down, like Shaq does), but just "beating her to the spot," then I'm thinking it's pretty much legal. But I'd be interested in hearing any other opinions.
