If the contact happened BEFORE A1 lands, it is a shooting foul, if the contact is AFTER A1 returns to the floor, it is a common foul.

Any "box out" that displaces the opponent is a foul.
I think you have to look at the displacement. Many times when there is some good contact, the offensive player will back out of the contact. Just make sure it is the contact which displaces him a decent amount, and the way the game is going depends on how much displacement will cause a foul.
That is how your game goes down the tubes. Displacement falls under rough play, and if you allow a little push, the next trip the other guy gets one, and the next time it's a little harder, and...

If they displace the opponent it's a foul.
You cannot call every little push! If you do, you will call 50 fouls per game. You must look at advantage/disadvantage. Just cuz there is a little contact, does not always mean a foul. The players need to be able to "play through" some things. We have some "incredible" teams and players in the NW corner of Iowa who play the game the way it should be, and if you go with "advantage/disadvantage" you will not have any problems.
You COMPLETELY missed the point.

If you call that displacement the FIRST time you won't NEED to call 50 fouls. You pass on it, the next push gets HARDER, players start looking to get pay back and you will end up HAVING to call fouls to reel the game back.

I'm am aware of advantage/disadvantage and contact that players can play through to make a play, that does NOT apply to riding out an opponent on a box out, an opponent can't play through getting backed out, there only response is to PUSH BACK.

It's rough play, it's a game changing type of play, and it needs to be called, EVERY time.
