If A1 gets it back without a struggle, B1 is not likely to have his hand on it.

The play described almost has B1 simply touching the ball as it goes back to the OOB side of the plane. This just isn't going to happen.
While I don't doubt it is unlikely, I wouldn't agree with you that it just isn't going to happen. If the defender is tracing the ball properly, it might happen. What isn't likely to happen is that the official will see it if and when it happens. That would require a prepared mind. Lots of playing is high level pattern recognition. Officiating, too.
