I doubt it's been changed for this year, but the NF rulebook and casebook seem to disagree on this one.
10-6-3 states that the contact is not a foul as long as B1 tries to stop.
10.6.3(D) calls this a foul on B1.

The case book must have changed plays this year. 10.6.3D has both situatiions as a foul on A1.
10.6.3 SITUATION D: A1 is running toward A's goal but is looking back to receive a pass. B1 takes a position in the path of A1 while A1 is 10 feet away from B1. (a) A1 runs into B1 before receiving the ball; or (b) A1 receives the ball and before taking a step contacts B1. Ruling: In both (a) and (b), A1 is responsible for contact. In (a), B1's position is legal if A1 has been given two strides prior to contact. In (b), since the position of B1 is legal when A1 has the ball, the contact is charging by A1.
BTW, I realistically don't see this as a screening situation but a guarding situation.

Actually, I'm reversing my correction - it was called a foul on A1.
I'm really out of it this morning - must be because I have to wait until Friday to find the rest of my schedule.
