Pretty straight-forward, yes? Selling this call is not easy, however, because all anyone sees is B1 in front of A1 so the ball must have been poked out by B1.
My approach to this has been twofold: (1) determine who poked it out first .......

Shorten your approach to onefold. All you have to do is determine who knocked the ball OOB. Period. There's no need to sell anything. Just make the call like you'd make any other OOB call. Get the ball back into play and go.
Quit second-guessing yourself. You've got plenty of people in the gym that are quite willing to that for you. You're overthinking the hell outa the play.
