I looked in my Basketball Case book a bit and was still a bit confused(again). IMO A-2 is screening for A-1.Preventing opponents from getting to the ball by using screening teammates becomes a violation in 5 seconds if the opponents are attempting to gain control(9.10.1 CASE situation). so,I think the referee in NOT correct to discontinue the count.Possibly covered in 10 ART. 1 b.

Is B1 attempting to gain control of the ball, as per 9.10.1SitD?
This is another question that is unanswerable without knowing that.
