The pass floats, and B2 intercepts the pass.
Question: Is it too late to go back and get a foul on B1?

If you already "judged" the contact to be incidental...then you stay with your non-call.
If you are gathering information...and have not already "judged" incidental...you could probably "go back" and get the foul...one of those have to be there.
Dave Libby told us at one of his camps..."have the courage to NOT CALL the foul, when the whole gym heard the slap". This was in relation to a lay-up...and probably just a slap on the hand.
