Block on A1? How do you figure that?

That sentence was poorly worded. It has been my experience that A1 usually flops when he/she is in an unfavorable position and is trying to influence the official to call a charging foul on B1. The first time that A1 flops in the scenario that I just described and there in no contact, by rule that is a technical foul for faking being fouled, I discreetly let A1 know that his/her actions are a technical foul and to stop the nonsense. I think that everybody goes that route because it is an obscure techincal foul, very techincal is the best description I can give. But if there is contact, and A1 is not in a favorable position, then A1 is responsible for the contact, and the official should call a blocking foul on A1. I hope this cleared things up for you.
