As A2 goes to set a ball screen, B1 takes a path to go under the screen and there is no contact with A2. As A1 brushes off the screen, A2 begins to roll, in the process of rolling to the basket B1 gets stuck behind A2 as they roll to the basket. Is that a foul? Is A2 still considered a screener or are they now a cutter?

Yes, it is a foul. It doesn't matter if A2 is intended to screen or not. It is the actions that matter. If B1 goes under and A2 rolls into B1 as B1 tries to defend B1, you have the makings of a foul. Not automatic, but it must be watched. If A2's roll is quick and B1 hesitates and only runs into A2 after A2 has taken off and left the main path to A1 open, I'm not going to have that foul. At that point, I'm going to consider that B1 is guarding A2.
