Illegal contact is shown as this stuff:
10-6-1 - "A player shall not: hold, push, charge, trip; nor impede the progress of an opponent...;
nor use any rough tactics."
A personal foul is shown as this stuff:
4-19-1 - "...Involves illegal contact with an opponent..., which hinders an opponent.... "
Did A1 knock B1 down by a rough tactic and also hinder B1?
Judge it.
Call it.
