So you believe it is legal even in that case, right? regardless whoes front court it occurs, right?

First, front court has nothing to do with it. No idea why you brought that into the question.

If B1 is in front and both player are moving in the same direction, then A1 is required to avoid the contact.

4-40-6
When screening an opponent who is moving in the same path and direction as the screener, the player behind is responsible if contact is made because the player in front slows up or stops and the player behind overruns his/her opponent.
