B1 reaches out with an arm across A1's midsection and clearly holds him. *tweet*. Ball goes in.

The foul on B1 is the 7th team foul therefore A is in the bonus.
I can give you one better from my sophomore year in HS. Shooter goes up and hits a 3. After the shot, he is fouled and the opposing team is over the limit for team fouls. He steps to the line for a potential 5-point play, but missed the front end of the 1-and-1.

It was a running joke for the rest of the year that he could hit contested 20 footers with ease, but couldn't shoot a free throw.
