That's just what works for me.

NevadaRef said it best ... I feel this is the best way to handle this situation. However, if I see the inadvertent poke - I call the foul.
Just like if A1 is attempting a shot and B1 goes for the block and inadvertently makes body contact - Foul there. Of course, if I see it. If he missed the shot badly and crashes to the floor and I missed it because my view was blocked, I don't just assume he must have been fould and blow the whistle.
