This is when a "patient whistle" comes in handy. See the whole play. If B1's hold doesn't really affect A1's ability to catch and shoot, it's not a foul; by definition it's incidental contact.

And I don't make the decision of whether it's incidental or not based on who has how many fouls, or how good he is, or anything the coach might think.
