Agreed that this is an intentional foul, but only because of the "just wraps him up" -- that's an intentional foul at any point in the game. If B1 fouls A1 because B1 got to a position late, or "bumped the cutter", or held to stop A1 from using a screen, .... then it's a common foul.

2) fouled while setting a screen without the ball being anywhere in the vicinity of the screen.
Why else would any defender foul a screener except to stop the clock?
Camron, you interpret the POE one way. I interpret it a completely different. We simply disagree.

Most screens during an imbound play are "without the ball being in the vicinity of the screen." The screens are designed to get a player open to receive a pass (and the player trying to get open might be the screener, if the defense switches). If the defense merely runs through the screen, or pushes the screener out of the way, then it's a common foul.
