4.19.9 Situation A
Does the push, causing A1 to crash into B1, have any bearing on the ruling?

If you were to all it, then it would be a false double foul. Foul 2 happened after the first but before the clock started following the first.
That said, I'm almost certain that the push by B1 caused it...and I didn't even see it. As such, A1 didn't foul B2 at all since A1's action didn't cause the contact. B1's actions did.
