Maybe this would put a finer point on it: If A1 and B1 go for the ball at the same time, and B1 gets thrown around like a rag doll, as Adam accurately described it, then is it a violation of any rule? Or is it just one of those things that sometimes happens in basketball?

The reason I told the players to knock it off is that it was pretty clear they were doing it for the fun of it and I was afraid one of them would get hurt.

I'm pretty new at this, so I may be overthinking things...
It happens occasionally. As soon as it starts, blow the whistle. After that, B1 needs to let go unless he's too high in the air for a safe landing.
