That's what makes PI such a fun call! It is incumbent on B to know where the ball is, but there is so much gray area that each call must be made on it's own particular merits. If the pass is way underthrown, I won't throw it unless the defender puts his hands on the A player to keep him from moving. If it's just a little underthrown and A is trying to make a play on the ball and B doesn't look for it but runs into A, I'll throw it. If B never looks back for it, in most cases he'll get a flag from me if he hinders A.
With high school kids, QB's don't always get it where they want it, and receivers have to adjust, come back, slow down etc. It's always a dicey call.
