A lot of refs no-call this play (including me) because the block was so clean. Some of you refs out there that also no-call it, what do you tell the coach of A1?

Nothing. If the coach asked me a question about it then I would tell him or her that the contact had no effect on the play.
Now I am assuming that in this play by A1 and B1 it wasn't a crash and that B2 gained possesion of the ball. If A2 gained possesion then I would remind the coach that it was still their ball...
