That depends on how you "try to draw a foul". Flopping is "trying to draw a foul". After watching this play a couple of times, I think B1 exagerrated the contact. Certainly there was contact but I didn't see A1 go through B1.
I adjusted this one:
Don't coaches teach their players how to take a charge
whether the contact was sufficient for a charge or not? (trying to draw a foul)
Surely your not taking the stance of "if the coaches teach it, it is OK".

I agree.
