1. Ball still on rim when contact occurs (live ball)
2. Goal has scored, but team B has yet to get control of ball (dead ball period)
I'm thinking no-call in both cases. B2 is out of bounds, so he cannot have a "legal" guarding position. Also, a foul prevents the opponent from performing normal offensive or defensive movements. Being oob, would already prevent him from performing those.

Unless it was a violent collision I'd probably go with incidental contact. I'm trying to picture how hard a player shooting at the rim, even coming off a drive, can run into a player standing under the basket out of bounds.
