Look again...B1's feet (foot) were inside the RA just before the shoulder contact and were coming forward...several inches outside of the RA at the time of that contact. Can't get between those two points without moving forward.

The foul that was called was not for that, indeed, but the block/charge element of the play was a block. There was a claim that this body contact caused the arms to not be vertical.
