Yes it is an automatic foul.
As I have already stated, V2 put his two hands on H1's back while violating H1's Cylinder of Verticalty thereby preventing him from standing up. To use the words of the actual rule: V2's contact inhibited H1's freedom of movement.
We certainly do not wait to see if H5's FGA is succesful before calling a Foul in the Act of Shooting against V5 do we?

Mark, you're completely ignoring 4-27-3 (NFHS),

Contact which does not hinder the opponent from participating in normal defensive or offensive movements should be considered incidental.

We may be seeing this play differently, but I'm picturing an airborne B1 whose hands are on A1 for all of .5 second as he flies out of bounds. A1 is neither moved nor prevented from moving.
No, I don't wait to see if the shot is successful, but I do wait to see if it's affected. Don't you?
