What a tangled mess this rule is. So suppose that in this play B1 remains out of bounds and B2 manages to cause a charge that's in the RA. If I've read this thread right, that's a charge because this is not an outnumbered fast break. But if B1 steps in just before the contact from A1 we have a block?

If B2 established legal guarding position outside of the RA, then B2 can take a charge inside of the RA if he maintained LGP the entire time.

If B1 remains out of bounds and does not return, we have a different issue, out of bounds of his own volition. Normally, that gets called against an offensive player who uses the out-of-bounds area to evade a defender, but if a defender uses out-of-bounds to bend the rules to allow his teammate to draw a charge, I would punish the defender for being intentionally OOB, and call that instead of the apparent foul.
