I will state categorically that if it was high school varsity I would hold the position that B bailed too soon and blocked A1 in his attempt and make the same call he made.

Agree with Rocky. Why would that become a block at the high school level? The defender is allowed to protect himself and he's still got a legal guarding position. It's a charge at all levels if the contact is on the defender's torso.
