Do remember... there is no time limit on a whistle.

Sorry, but you are not correctly applying the advantage/disadvantage concept, you are advocating misapplying the rules of basketball, and JR duly admonished you for holding this position.
You cannot BY RULE do what you write above because the ball is DEAD at the time of the violation, unless A1 has already started the trying motion. Therefore, you can't wait for A1 to shoot. Put simply, the problem is that the goal doesn't count if the violation precedes the try, NO MATTER WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO BLOW THE WHISTLE.
If A1 has started the trying motion you could blow the whistle for B1's violation and award the ball OOB to Team A whether the try is successful or not, just as if B1 had fouled A2.
IOW the advantage/disadvantage concept must be applied within the rules, not used as a means to circumvent them and apply your own personal standard of justice.
PS IMO no official who practices your advice is going to stick around very long at any level, especially the higher ones.
