Two Fouls?

A1 has back to basket, spins around with ball in hands and hits legal defender B1 with ball while maintaining the ball in his grasp. The inadvertant ball hit momentarily clears enough room for A1 to get off a shot that scores. Do you call a player control (personal) foul?

Good scenario, Slider. In this case, I have a foul on A1 only because you can't charge a foul to the ball.

I would like to see an interpretation/case allowing the foul to be charged to B1. Until then, I'm giving B2 the personal foul (unless B1's push was incredibly violent - then I'd charge B1 with a flagrant technical and ignore the contact by B2).
