The rules are in place to provide a balance of play and if there is an advantage gained by illegal activity, it should be called. Otherwise, though there might be one or more exceptions -- it shouldn't be called.

Please explain the advantage Team B gained by the contact.
A1, seeing that a much larger B1 was going to collide with him, gets distracted and catches the ball instead of tapping it. B1 does collide with A1...fairly hard but not quite enough for an intentional foul. Did B1 gain an advatage? I think so.
