If, however, B1 is trying to get around, and A1 steps into B1's path and there is substantial contact - that's when I have a foul.

Let's assume there was constant contact, from the time A1 locked in and posted up till the time A2 used A1 as a screen for her jumper. Again, I wasn't close enough to see, but I got the sense that A1 was maintaining contact (A1's butt to B1's trunk) throughout. It was tough to see if there was any hard pushing for displacement. Still legal? Why or why not?
Personally, I thought B1 could have done a better job of spinning off of A1 whenever she needed to step in on A2's drive to provide help, but I couldn't tell if she was being pushed around a bit anytime she tried. It was pretty physical and no there was no tape to review afterwards.
