The ruling is goaltending 4-22. Goaltending occurs when a player touches the ball during a field goal try or tap while it is in its downward flight entirely abbove the basket ring level and has the possibility of entering the basket in flight...

The touching by B1 is irrelevant... 4-41-4 the try ends when the throw is successful, when it is certain the throw is unsuccessful, when the thrown ball touches the floor or when the ball becomes dead.
