The defender wasn't trying to take a charge - he was in for the rebounding/boxing out, saw the player looming above him, turtled, and in a sense caught him.
Probably more of a - You had to be there to see the play - But just thought I'd see what everybody thinks.

I'm trying to visualize it, A1 jumps outside in, from behind the backboard, and lands on B3 turning/ducking to protect themself, correct?
I have a no-call. A1 is not jumping in a vertical plane, and is causing the contact. As described A1 landed on B3.
If the "turtling" caught A1's lower body and changed A1's body angle you'd have a foul on B3, in that case B3 boxed out an airborne player.
