B1 had legal guarding position.
A1 knocked him down.
Watcha got?

By that logic, A1 goes up for a shot, B1 swings down to block the shot and the force of the blocked shot...without verticality, and no direct contact...knocks A1 down, foul on B1?


That's pretty silly.
Did B1 do something wrong?

In the original case, A1 made illegal contact.
In you case there was no illegal contact.
Where's the foul?

A1 made contact with THE BALL in the original play, that is no different than my play.

No contact/no foul, ugly does not equal automatic whistle.
