Doesn't dislodging an opponent infer that the opponent was maintaining a specific spot on the floor, hence not moving?
This is Division 1 basketball, A1 & A2 didn't just randomly take the same course. There was a screen intended by A1. A1 & A2 executed it poorly and A1 decided to hang on to ball and throw up some shot in hopes of fooling the ref. It didn't work. There is a reason the dribble hand-on is in our preseason video and why you see offensive fouls being called more often.

And A1 wasn't dislodged, he threw his shoulder into B2 at the start of his spin. You supposedly have no opinion as to whether the call was correct or not, but all I see is you typing how A1 didn't commit a foul. So you do have an opinion, and it's an opinion in the very miniscule minority.
