I like facets of both answers but don't completely like either answer.

Some plays you have got to see before you can make a call.

Some things listed in the original scenario are not relevant without further information: picks up the ball (in two hands I assume). so what? Airborne? Who was going to get to the collision position first? moving or not moving?Where did B1 come from; was she guarding all along or surprise jump out from behind someone else? One foot on the floor. so what? too much sports TV commentation. 4-23-3 "not required to have either or both feet on the floor." (4-23-2)Cannot establish initial legal guarding position unless both feet are on the floor but that could have been several seconds before the movement causing the collision. Play would be different if boys were playing: yeah, they might have hairier legs, so what?

Response #1 got something right "It all depends upon the official's judgement." (not sure about the rest of the statement)

Response #2 has a good point too "Who initiated the contact?"

I'd have to see it. Got a video?
