Actually, it is what the rule says.
10.6.7 Comment: When both the dribbler and the opponent are moving in exactly the same path and same direction, the player behind is responsible for contact which results if the player in front slows down or stops.
So you think if, in this situation, B1 slows down in front of A1, all A1 has to do is become airborne and the foul is on B1?
