I'm not so sure that if B1 falls down and A1 trips over B1 that B1 should have been called for a foul because I don't think that would be a legal guarding postition. Generally speaking if this happened in quick succession I would call it a foul(not a legal guarding position).

As someone else often says, LGP gives the defender additional rights. Not all contact by a defender w/o LGP is a foul.

In the play in question (B1 on the floor, A1 trips over B1), is a travel in FED and a foul on B1 in NCAA. The FED ruling is in some case and the NCAA ruling is in an interp issued this year.
