Video clearly shows A1 does not dip his shoulder on the dribble drive.

Here's a good example of different takes on the same play.

I don't see a push, or at least not one worthy of a call. The offensive player went one way, the pass went the other. In the process of disengaging, the defender extended his arms. Play on.

I think the video clearly shows that A1 does dip his shoulder, (slightly) but dipping one's shoulder is not in and of itself illegal.

If you look closely enough, you'll see the offensive player, expecting the pass to go elsewhere, pushing back just the same as he is running away from the defender. He pushed the defender in the direction the ball ultimately went. He just guessed the wrong direction of the throw.
