parallel is where they are lined up and the shape of their line is parallel to the boundary line -- no shoulder to shoulder or back to front -- so in situation A the answer is YES and in B the answer is NO

I disagree. I think that you are the one who is misunderstanding the questions posed by sj.
Let's look closely at what the OP wrote. For part (a) sj asks about players who are "facing" the boundary line. He also used the word parallel. From that description, I envisioned two players standing shoulder-to-shoulder and both are facing the boundary line. They are NOT standing one in front of the other. We agree on the ruling for this alignment.
Then, sj immediately asks about two players who are "perpendicular (
facing at a 90 degree angle to) the boundary line."
In this context it seems that his meaning is that the spot on the floor for each player has not changed. Each player has merely altered the direction that he was facing. Both players have turned their bodies 90 degrees and are now facing the sideline.
This is still an alignment for which an opposing player would be entitled to a spot in between them.
I don't believe that he is inquiring about the stack formation in which the players are lined up on behind the other, but if he is then we agree that in that case B1 is NOT entitled to a space between A1 and A2.
