It sounds like a good no-call, but there is another aspect to consider, which no one else has mentioned. If A1 saw B1 coming, she may have adjusted her shot expecting contact, or rushing to avoid the defender stopping the shot. This is an advantage for B. If there is then contact, the B player has gained an advantage illegally and a foul should be called.

It may not have been like this in your case, but I've seen games where the player in A's position, was completely thrown off her rhythm by the defender coming at her. If there is no contact, this is just good defense, but if any contact occurs, I think this is a foul. Especially at the JV girls level, where skills are not as developed and players are not as experineced as they might be, I don't like to let this go.
