Slot official calls B1 for the block and awards A1 one free throw.

I think it was a great call. B1's contact wasn't a whole lot, but he definitely bodied A1 to try to buy the foul. Penalize the flop with a block.

Shouldn't this be a common foul? Count the shot, throw-in for A or 1-1 for A1? (I'm thinking NFHS and NCAA rules here).

NCAA and NFHS that is how you would handle the play. Count the basket, then penalize the foul with a throw-in OOB or bonus FT's. NBA, if the basket is made, the penalized player will shoot the "and 1" free throw.

We all know what you mean, but just to be clear, the "penalized" player (the one who we called the foul on) doesn't shoot the free throw.

The player who was fouled shoots the "and 1", even if it's not the player who made the basket.

Correct...poor wording on my part.

Interestingly enough if there was a situation where A1 was shooting and B2 pushes A2 into A1, if A1 makes the basket, A2 would shoot the "and 1" but if A1 misses the shot, A1 would shoot 2/3 free throws.

Figured there was a rule difference here (I thought I'd remembered it, actually).

Just wanted to clarify it, lest someone read this and proceed to make this call in a middle school game.
