Play:
A1, with a backcourt throwin, passes ball to A2. The ball sails over A2's head. A2, in trying to get to the ball stumbles, falls to the floor, and rolls into B2's legs....taking them out from under B2 and B2 falls as a result. The ball went to the area of A4 and B4 and was 30' from B2, who was making no attempt to go with the ball.....he was staying with A2. I'll have no foul.
From here that looks like an off-ball foul, due to clumsiness, or not. A2 put B2 on the floor, a position from which B2 could not play normal defense, nor could B2 get the pass from B4 on the fast break.
