The precedent has been set, in that a defender, with a foot touching the out of bounds line, cannot be considered to have legal guarding position, even if he has roots growing from his feet. It is, by rule, a block.
Also, I believe there is still in the rule book, a provision for a Technical foul for leaving the court, in addition to the violation, in circumstances were it is egreg.....ergre... done deliberately.

This rule only applies to block charge scenarios where "legal guarding position" is required to avoid a defensive foul. It is still possible in this situation to call an offensive foul.
Now, for the original scenario, I'd have to see it. But if there's no contact, I've got nothing. If B is causing contact to prevent A1 from returning to the court, easy foul.
