Let me ask you something. A1 attempts a 3-pointer, B1 comes in blocks the shot but his momentum carries him and his arm into A1 before A1 returns to the floor and knocks A1 to the floor, what do you have? I have a foul in this situation too!! Furthermore, when the coach asks you, did the player block the shot first, which the answer is yes, agree and continues to state if it didn't affect his shot why are we shooting 3, what do you answer? Coach, I would have given you the same call on the other end. This is the exact same play that happened to me in a region tourney game last night. So it's the same concept as your play, and as you can see, I had foul. BTW, me not being quick on my feet with a response it took me the 2nd of 3 free throws to answer his question.

Look, the point I'm trying to make is That little TAP may not be important to us as official(s). But, it can have an affect of the shooter.
