I think everyone is getting too hung up on the ball part of the question. If the contact is intentional, or caused an advantage/disadvantage situation, you need to call the foul. Otherwise we will see guys in the post palming the ball, pushing the defender out of the way, and getting an easy bucket. One way to think about this situation is: If A1 intentionally throws the ball at B1's head, do you call a T? Just because the "ball" caused contact rather than a fist would any official let this go. I wouldn't.
