Splute:

You are correct that NFHS and NCAA R9-S13-A2 and A3 deal with actions that are not violations. BUT, if A1 has the ball and B1 has a legal guarding position with respect to A1, and A1 makes contact with B1 while making movements under R9-S13-A2 and A3, then A1 has committed a personal foul and the official now has to determine whether the foul is a common (player control) foul, an intentional foul, or a flagrant foul.

Therefore, R9-S13-A2 and A3 still does not protect A1 from being responsible for any contact made with B1 who has a legal guarding position relative to A1.
