I don't think it's as easy as that.
A1 runs "this way" to try to get open for a pass.
B1 runs "that way" to try to guard A2. They collide, preventing B1 from defending. Illegal?
On the pick-and-roll-and-screen play, I do look for (almost) any action (hestitation, arms out, etc.) by the roller that indicates something other than a roll. If I see it, I'm much more likely to call the foul. But, if it's just the roll, then I think it falls under the "when 10 players are moving in a confined area, some contact is bouond to occur" rule (or whatever the specific wording is).
