True, however, the offensive player who was pushed was not the ball carrier.

There is a specific casebook play that allows you to delay calling a technical when the opposing team has a fast break. Unfortunately, there is no such allowance here for a personal (contact) foul. Also, the ball is dead when the foul occurs (regardless of when the whistle blows), so a delayed whistle won't help here (at least, not by rule).

A1's shot is cancelled (although if it's close, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt), B2 is charged with either an intentional personal or a flagrant personal foul (would have to see the contact to judge it), A2 will get two FT's, and then A will inbound the ball at the spot closest to the foul.
