This can't possibly be true.
As others have said...verticality applies ONLY to the defense. It's is only valid from a "Legal guarding position".
In the original play, it's a foul on A1 if they displace B1.
In the two plays MTDSr added (which are completely different from the original post), it's a foul on B1 for leaning over A1's body when contact occured. No way B1 could have been vertial in those cases.
