As I posted much earlier, what if B1 saw that A1 was dribbling to a certain spot and B1 got there first with his/her back turned, do you have a pc foul if there is contact? I realize that I may have been a bit too aggressive applying the guarding principle in the OP, I am just trying to see where you all draw the line....
Kbilla in the OP the guy who shot the ft and then got fouled was neither screening nor guarding, but he had a legal position on the floor which was violated by the opponent who came down on top of him. It wasn't a block, because the player in front wasn't blocking. and it was PC because the player behind initiated contact, and caused the contact illegally.
