A1 Misses shot of the rim. A5 is being boxed out by B5. A5 Jumps/Pushes onto and into B5's back to make a play for the ball. A5 gets hands on it as a result of the contact but the ball goes off B5. Out of bounds.
I've gotten to the point with this call that if I get a new partner I will pregame it with them to make sure we are on the same page in terms of the call. Some partners will call the foul to clean up the play, others will simply give the ball to team A as they are not disadvantaged. Obivously knocking someone down or significant displacement is a serperate issue.
What would you have generally in your games call wise? Pushing foul on this play or just the OOB?

The concept to use is often called "Possession Consequence".
If the "right" player/team gets the ball or will get the ball as a result of a violation, you don't have to call the foul, you can allow the play to develop naturally. That can either mean that B5 (or a teammate) got the ball or there was an immediate violation that ends up with B having the ball. You have the
OPTION to not call the foul and let play continue with B in control of the ball or with a throwin for B.
If the "wrong" team/player gets the ball as a result, you have a "possession consequence" and should call the foul. You should not generally call something that didn't happen (an OOB call off what is clearly the wrong player).
