Bear with me as I try to explain this best I can. A1 is dribbling up court after an offensive rebound (fast break situation) and will dribbling up court, B1 is gaining on A1. A1 sort of stops to throw his body/backside into B1 (Sam Cassell does this a lot in the NBA). If B1 knocks over A1, is this a foul on B1, even though he didn't cause it? Also, (for those who understand at all what I'm trying to say) can A1 be called for any foul here?

BBallinRick,
For future posts, I think you mean after a defensive rebound by A1 rather than an offensive rebound. If it was an offensive rebound, A1 would probably have gone right back to the hoop rather than dribbling up court right?
Case 10.6.2 Situation C says the following:
"When both the dribbler and the opponent are moving in exactly the same path and same direction, the player behind is responsible for contact which results if the player in front slows down or stops." So if all A1 did is slow down is stop, it's pretty clear that the foul would be on B1.
However, you say that A1 "sort of stops to throw his body/backside into B1" I think I'd have to see exactly what A1 did to know if that was a foul on A1 or not.
