You not going to call a foul with head to toe contact in an attempt to tie up the ball?
The ONLY reason A1 is not displaced is because of the floor. If the contact by the diving defender would displace A1 if she were standing, than it is a foul while she's on the floor.

The floor is what makes this play completely different.

Only for one reason and that is displacement.
Diving into another player will cause displacement most of the time. You can't displace a player on the floor without driving them THROUGH the floor.
In this situation the ONLY time I'm calling a held ball is if B is standing and the tie up PULLS her on top of A. A dive on top of another player that has the ball is a foul, it's not incidental contact.
