If A1 tried to squeeze past B1 and what would normally be incidental contact caused A1 to go OOB, I have an OOB call.

This.

When I was a newer official, I assumed “greater responsibility for the contact” meant that if you’re not charging B1 with a blocking foul here, you have to charge A1 with a PCF. But the artist formerly known as BNR is more correct; though a PCF is certainly a possible outcome, “greater responsibility for the contact” more commonly means that A1 is a fool for trying to squeeze a golf ball through a garden hose, and is every bit responsible for having his arse end up out of bounds.
