A1 starts a drive into them not touching them until he is up in the air, while he is in the air the arms of B1,B2,are goining up into a horizontal position, A1 gets hit buy the arms of the defenders and falls to the ground losing the ball. I was positioned where I could see the play in front of me. I called no foul. was it right??? It is time to become an official and not a fan.

Do you mean the arms of the defenders were raised within their VERTICAL plane? If so, I'd say you had the call correctly. Both defedners can jump vertically and occupy the space within their vertical plane. If they were leaning forward outside their plane, it's a blocking foul.

If the defenders' arms were out to the side, and the shooter contacted only the arms or mostly the arms, it's a blocking foul, especially if the defender(s) were moving their arms into that position as the shooter was going up.
