If you call this a common foul, whaddya say to B's coach who overheard your conversation with A's coach and starts screaming that it should have been an intentional foul, as it was premeditated?

I went with the common foul. I am not able the discern the intent of the fouler. His action was 100% a common foul without the foul-to-put'em-on-the-line strategy. What if the player internally decided to ignore his coach and in making a legitimate attempt to intercept the pass, fouled A2?
As long as the contact is not untoward, I have a common foul.
If the coach questions about me about it, I tell him that my ruling is the most consistent with the game.
