Looking at the video for the first time I'm calling it a FF1 in my game. B1 swings his arm, comes nowhere near the ball, and causes airborne A1 to land violently. May not be intentional but fits 4-29-2c.1, Causing excessive contact with an opponent while playing the ball, for me.
And quite frankly, it's time that we stop thinking of a FF1 as an "intentional" foul and start calling them more often in situations like this. The days of someone getting hammered like this should end.

I hope the terminology comes to the NFHS soon, too.
