Now for the good part: A1 decides to change directions and moves to his left and makes contact with B1 and displaces B1. What do you have?

I hate this play. The worst part is, you can always see it coming. And, it is often right in front of the coaches.
If the defender clearly hasn't initiated the contact and isn't trying to impede the RSBQ, then its a no call for me.
As an aside, this happened twice, on successive possessions in a double OT jv game last year, the coach went nuts both times. After the game, the varsity guys who had came out to watch the overtimes said I had a great couple of no calls on those plays. Very confusing, though.
