Maybe another way of describing this kind of deal would be to say that the bump by A1 wasn't a foul at the time of the bump. But it BECAME a foul at the moment in time when the ball was being stolen and he was still in the process of recovering. Therefore if we blow the whistle at that point then it would not be a "late" whistle.
I used the word late just to make it easy to talk about but it's always been fanboy terminology to me. After all no one ever wants to be late. Patient is a good description.
