Look at this another way
This decision should not be based on the fact that A1 is a star and A2 is not (if you even know). If you know that A1 has 4 fouls and A2 has 1 foul, and you see something where you could call either way, go ahead and call A2. I am not saying protect A1, but rather, if you aren't positive, don't take A1 out on a maybe foul call.
If you know it was A1, I think they gotta go. It may seem fair to A to protect A1, but B is an equal partner in this and probably wants A1 off the floor. If B drew the 5th foul, they deserve the reward.
