I agree, in most cases you're not going to see this. But you have to be prepared for that one time. Maybe there's the one time the defender is trailing A1 by a step or two, and as A1 runs the baseline the post player sets a screen after A1 goes by. If there are other players in the paint area, the only "clear" path might be OOB.
Like you said, in most cases if A1 is inbounds, the best path for B1 will also be inbounds. But don't let a player take advantage of the OOB area if the other team is setting good screens.
