In Chicago, if you and Camron voted on something, the results would be 7-5.
My only comment is that A1 is given no additional rights just because s/he is calling for the ball. We've all seen A1 "hold" B1 to get (or try to get) the ball. The hold can be reaching back, extending the lower arm, moving illegally in front, ... We've probably all called (some of) this a foul.
Also, we've all seen A1 set an illegal screen on B1 so B1 cna't play help defense on a drive -- usually on the baseline. We've all called that.
So, watch B1 (referee the defense). If A1 is illegally stopping B1 from performing normal defensive actions, call the foul. IF B1 is content to play behind A1 and just stand there, there's nothing to call.
