A1 initiate contacts with B1's extended arm within A1's verticality, would B1 be called for a defensive foul? For example B1 extended his arm towards A1 A1 raises arm to block B1 continues pressing his arm towards A1's blocking hand.
If A1 is using their arm to push B1's arm out of the way, then verticality doesn't come into play. There is never a case where a player is permitted to use their arm to push any part of another player.
